The Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Reviews of Sentencing) Order 1995
Part IV of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 allows the Attorney General to refer certain cases to the Court of Appeal, with the leave of that Court, where he considers that a sentence imposed in the Crown Court was unduly lenient. At present, that power may be exercised in respect of offences triable only on indictment and, by virtue of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Reviews of Sentencing) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/119), certain offences triable either way.
