We, the Crown Court Rule Committee, in exercise of the powers conferred upon us by sections 84(1) and 86 of the Supreme Court Act 1981(1), hereby make the following Rules:

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Crown Court Rules 1982 so as to insert a new rule 25AA in connection with section 73 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33). Rule 25AA contains procedural provisions relating to the statements and other documents tendered to the court under section 73, which facilitates the determination by the court whether a defendant has benefited from an offence to which Part VI of the Act of 1988 applies and the assessment by the court of the value of the defendant's benefit.

The Rules, by virtue of rule 1, come into force on 3rd April 1989, the date on which Part VI of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 comes into force (S.I. 1989/264).

(2)

S.I. 1982/1109; rule 25A was added by the Crown Court (Amendment) Rules 1986 (S.I. 1986/2151).
