Article 5 Corresponding transitional provision for Northern Ireland dealing with excepted matters

In its application to PACE material taken, or (in the case of a DNA profile) derived from a sample taken, before the day on which this Order comes into force and identified by the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland as material requiring consideration under paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, Schedule 2 to the Criminal Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2013 has effect as if Article 63B(2)^f1 of the 1989 Order did not apply until the end of the period of six months beginning with the day on which this Order comes into force.

In this article “PACE material” means material that would have been material to which Article 63B of the 1989 Order applied if those provisions had been in force when it was taken or derived.
