Act of Adjournal (Extension of Time Limit for Service of Transcript of Examination) 1998
This Act of Adjournal amends the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 so as to expedite proceedings by providing that any application to the High Court for an extension of the time limit within which the prosecutor is to serve copies of the transcript of questions to and answers and declarations by the accused in judicial examination in petition procedure in any case (or for the extension of certain other time limits) may be disposed of by that Court, or by any Lord Commissioner of Justiciary, in court or in chambers.
