Commentary on Sections Section 5
17.The definition of “High Court” adopts that used in the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (section 307). Accordingly, it means “High Court of Justiciary” and includes any court held by the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary, or any of them.
18.“Relevant offence” means either an offence under section 1 of the 2012 Act (offensive behaviour at a regulated football match) or an offence under section 6 (threatening communication), as the case may be.
