Part 3: Enforcement and appeals Section 37: Prosecution
Section 37 provides for which enforcement agencies are responsible for prosecuting offences under this Act. It provides that in England and Wales prosecutions must be brought by the Director of Public Prosecutions, and in Northern Ireland, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland. In Scotland, the Procurator Fiscal handles all prosecutions in the public interest and there is therefore no need for the kind of provision made in this section in Scotland.
