The Terrorism Act 2000 (Code of Practice for Examining Officers and Review Officers) Order 2014
This Order brings into operation the revised and consolidated code of practice (“the Code”) issued under paragraph 6(1) and (4) of Schedule 14 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (“the Act”) in connection with the exercise by examining officers and review officers of functions conferred on them by the Act. The Code revises the preceding code of practice to take account of amendments made to Schedules 7, 8 and 14 to the Act by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 which restrict the scope for exercise of powers and provide for further safeguards on their exercise. The Code consolidates the revised code issued under paragraph 6(4) of Schedule 14 to the Act with further codes of practice issued under paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 14 to the Act. The further codes were issued to fulfil the duties contained in paragraph 1A of Schedule 7 to the Act and paragraph 20K(7) to (8) of Schedule 8 to the Act (as inserted by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014) to issue codes of practice relating to the training and designation procedure applicable to examining officers and review officers.
