England and Wales

(F21)

An application for a banning order in respect of any person may be made by—

(a)

the relevant chief officer, or

(b)

the Director of Public Prosecutions,

if it appears to him that the condition in subsection (2) is met.

the chief constable of the British Transport Police Force.

(2)

That condition is that the respondent has at any time caused or contributed to any violence or disorder in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

(3)

The application is to be made by complaint to a magistrates’ court.

(4)

If—

(a)

it is proved on the application that the condition in subsection (2) above is met, and

(b)

the court is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that making a banning order would help to prevent violence or disorder at or in connection with any regulated football matches,

If the magistrates' court adjourns proceedings on an application under this section, the court may remand the person in respect of whom the application is made.
