EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Lebanon (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2007 ("the Order") in relation to the prosecution of offences in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akroitiri and Dhekelia in the Island of Cyprus and the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Article 15 of the Order is amended to achieve consistency in the description of "fine".
Schedule 2 of the Order is replaced to reflect the present court structure and procedure in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in the Island of Cyprus.
Schedule 4 is added to the Order to modify the application of article 15 insofar as it applies to the Falkland Islands (including South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
