The Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (Commencement No. 12) Order 2006
This Order commences, for remaining purposes, section 61(2) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (c. 23) (“the 1999 Act”), which provides that Chapter 4 of Part 2 of that Act shall have effect for the purposes of proceedings before a service court subject to any modifications which the Secretary of State may by order specify.
