NOTES of the WEEK
Criminal Courts During Invasion
The Defence (Administration of Justice) Regulations, 1940,
made by Order in Council under the Emergency Powers
(Defence) Acts, are of great importance to all persons concerned
in the administration of the criminal law. They are published
by H.M. Stationery Office as S.R. & O. 1940, No. 1028, price
fourpence, and should be studied by justices and by clerks to
justices. Their purpose is to provide for the effective action of
the criminal courts during hostile operations in Great Britain.
They make provision for removing courts from one place to
another and transferring jurisdiction from one court to another,
for increasing the period of lawful remand, doing away with
peremptory challenge of jurors, supplying a deficiency of jurors,
and continuing a trial with a smaller number of jurors (in some
cases five only).
There are also provisions for using statutory declarations in
enquiries into indictable offences and for the extended use of
depositions (in place of oral testimony) on the actual trial.
We shall give a full examination of these regulations in an
article next week.
Administering Oaths
The Evidence and Powers of Attorney Act, 1940, which
came into force on the 13th June, the date of its passing, enables
the Lord Chancellor to make orders empowering officers of
His Majesty's naval, military and air forces of a specified rank,
to administer oaths and take affidavits where at present a
commissioner for oaths has to be applied to. The Foreign
Secretary may make similar orders giving like powers to
persons in the diplomatic, consular or other foreign service of a
Power representing His Majesty in a country where we have
for the time being no diplomatic or consular representatives.
Any document purporting to have subscribed to it the signa-
ture of any person in testimony of any oath or affidavit is to](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.journals/cljw104&div=29&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
