(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order creates two new local justice areas by combining certain existing local justice areas. It amends the list of local justice areas in the Local Justice Areas Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/554) to reflect the changes.

The new local justice areas and the existing areas they combine are as follows:

  • Cambridgeshire replaces the areas of Huntingdonshire, North Cambridgeshire and South Cambridgeshire.

    Dorset replaces the areas of East Dorset and West Dorset.

The Order comes into force on 24th November 2014 for the purpose of enabling appointments to be made, elections to be held and bodies formed on the basis of the altered local justice areas. The Order comes into force on 1st April 2015 for the substantive creation of the new local justice areas.
