The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Investigations: Code of Practice) (Scotland) Order 2009
This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section410(4) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“the Act”). The Order brings into operation a revised version of the code of practice which is required by section410(1) of the Act for the exercise of investigatory powers under Chapter3 of Part8 of the Act by “proper persons” (as defined by section412 of the Act). The revised code of practice replaces the code brought into operation on 24th February 2003 entitled “Code of Practice issued under section 410 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002” and this Order revokes the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Investigations: Code of Practice) (Scotland) Order 2003 that brought that code of practice into operation.
