The Remand on Bail (Disapplication of Credit Period) Rules 2008
Section 240A(2) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c.44) (“the 2003 Act”) requires that a court sentencing an offender to a term of imprisonment must direct that a specified proportion of time spent on bail subject to an electronically monitored curfew condition of at least 9 hours is to count as time served by the offender as part of the sentence. Paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 6 to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 (c.4) (“the 2008 Act”) makes an identical transitional provision in respect of those offenders who committed offences before 4th April 2005. These Rules disapply the requirement in section 240A(2) of the 2003 Act and paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 6 to the 2008 Act in certain circumstances.
