Schedule: Temporary Measures Further provision about extra-territorial jurisdiction
266.As mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, paragraph 18 supports paragraphs 16 and 17 by ensuring that sheriffs and prosecutors have the necessary powers to deal with cases that come before a court by virtue of those paragraphs. It also makes clear that paragraphs 16 and 17 supplement, rather than supersede, other legal bases for a sheriff court taking a case from outwith its normal territorial jurisdiction.
