(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 175(4) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 enables the Secretary of State by order to specify a class of case in summary proceedings in which the prosecutor may appeal to the High Court against the sentence or other disposal passed or made on the grounds that the sentence or disposal is unduly lenient or otherwise inappropriate.

This Order specifies the class of case for this purpose as being any case in which, on or after 1st November 1996, the sentence or other disposal is passed or made.
