Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment No. 3) 1997
This Act of Adjournal amends the Criminal Procedure Rules in order to extend from two days to seven days the period before which a disqualification, forfeiture or disability attached as a result of a conviction but suspended, under section 121 or 193 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 46) pending the determination of any appeal will re-attach following refusal, by a quorum of judges, of leave to appeal; to make minor drafting amendments; and to provide for the form of execution of service of the complaint in a summary prosecution, where the accused has been previously convicted of an offence and the prosecutor has decided to lay a previous conviction before the court, to record whether a notice specifying the conviction has been served on him with the complaint (as is required by section 166(2) of that Act).
