The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Service of Prosecution Evidence) (Amendment) Regulations 2012

These Regulations amend the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Service of Prosecution Evidence) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/902) (“the 2005 Regulations”). The 2005 Regulations presently make provision for the service of copies of documents containing the evidence on which any charge or charges are based where a person is sent for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37) (“the 1998 Act”). In particular, the 2005 Regulations provide that the copies are to be served on the person sent for trial and the relevant Crown Court within a prescribed period.
