Justices Act 1886

This section applies to a person who, before the commencement of the Evidence (Protection of Children) Amendment Act 2003, section 75 (the commencement) started an appeal under section 222.

If, at the commencement, the appeal has not ended, then, from the commencement—

the appeal continues to be valid; and

each step taken for the appeal under this Act before the commencement continues to be effectual for the purpose for which it was taken; and

subject to paragraph (b), the provisions of this Act as they exist after the commencement apply to the appeal, including for any step that must or may be taken after the commencement.

If, immediately before the commencement, a recognisance entered by the person under section 222 is in effect, from the commencement—

the recognisance continues to have effect; and

despite the repeal of sections 231(2) and 241, those sections continue to apply, as if they had not been repealed, to the person until the recognisance is discharged.
