(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules come into force on the same day as section 3 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. They amend rules in Order 115 of the Rules of the Supreme Court in Schedule 1 to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 governing applications to the High Court for restraint orders under Schedule 4 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (2000 c.11) ("the 2000 Act"). The amendments are consequential upon amendments made by the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 to Schedule 4 to the 2000 Act, which extend the circumstances in which a prosecutor may apply to the High Court for a restraint order, by providing that such an application may be made where a criminal investigation has been started in England and Wales with regard to a suspected offence under any of sections 15 to 18 of the 2000 Act.
