The Community Order (Review by Specified Courts) Order 2007
This Order is the second use of the power contained in section 178 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 which allows the Secretary of State, by order, to give criminal courts the power to review community orders made under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and to make provisions relating to the frequency and conduct of those reviews and the courts’ power upon review. This power was first used in relation to a pilot conducted at the North Liverpool Community Justice Centre and the City of Salford Magistrates’ Court by the Community Order (Review by Specified Courts in Liverpool and Salford) Order 2006 (“the 2006 Order”). The pilot is now being extended to a further twelve magistrates’ courts.
