The Courts-Martial Appeal (Amendment) Rules 2007
The Rules set out in the Schedule amend the Courts-Martial Appeal Rules 1968 (S.I. 1968/1071). They make specific procedural provision with respect to references and applications for reviews of sentencing by the Courts-Martial Appeal Court where the Attorney General considers a sentence awarded by a court-martial for a qualifying offence to be unduly lenient. These Rules are broadly equivalent to those provisions in Part 70 of the Criminal Procedure Rules (S.I. 2005/384) and supplement the Courts-Martial Appeal (Review of Sentencing) Regulations 2007 (S.I.2007/660 ).
