1968 c. 20; section 49 was amended and partly repealed by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c. 4), section 12(2) and Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 9 and by section 146 and Schedule 18, Part 1. The amendments provide for rules under section 49 to be made in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the 2005 Act. The short title of the former Courts-Martial (Appeals) Act 1968 was changed to the Court Martial Appeals Act 1968 by the Armed Forces Act 2006 (c. 52), section 272(2) and Schedule 8, paragraph 53.
