The Restriction of Liberty Order (Scotland) Regulations 2006
These Regulations provide for the monitoring by electronic and radio devices of the compliance by offenders with the requirements of restriction of liberty orders (“RLOs”). They also revoke the Restriction of Liberty Order (Scotland) Regulations 1998, as amended, (“the 1998 Regulations”) which prescribe the courts which may make RLOs and the methods and the devices which may be used for monitoring compliance. The prescribed courts and methods are the same in these Regulations as in the 1998 Regulations but, following a change of contractor, the prescribed devices are different. By virtue of regulation 1(3), there is a period of about two months during which the devices prescribed in either set of Regulations may be used. This is to allow for an orderly transition.
