# The Criminal Justice Act 1991 (Commencement No. 3 (Amendment) and Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Scotland) Order 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (Commencement No. 3) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/333) (“the principal Order”).
The principal Order provides for the commencement on 1st October 1992 of inter alia section 17(1) and (2) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 which increases the fines for certain offences by amending inter alia sections 289G(2) and 289B(6) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975.
This Order amends the principal Order by providing that the amendments made to sections 289G(2) and 289B(6) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975 shall not apply in relation to any offence committed before 1st October 1992. This corresponds to the transitional and savings provision made for England and Wales in paragraph 6 of Schedule 12 to the 1991 Act.
