38: Application of temporary provisions in Schedule 2

You could also call this:

"Temporary rules for juries during COVID-19"

Illustration for Juries Act 1981

You need to know about some temporary rules in the Juries Act 1981. These rules are in Schedule 2 and they apply for a certain time. They start when this section begins and end when the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 is repealed. You should look at the different clauses in Schedule 2 to see when they apply. Some clauses start when this section begins and end when the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 is repealed. Others start when the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 is repealed and end two years later. These temporary rules change some parts of the Juries Act 1981. They modify or replace some sections, and they add new rules. If a temporary rule is different from a rule in the main act, the temporary rule is used. If a temporary rule replaces a rule in the main act, the main act rule does not apply. Any references to the main act rule are treated as references to the temporary rule. This is to avoid confusion and make sure everything works smoothly.

                                    2. To avoid doubt, a cross-reference in this Act or any other enactment or document to a provision in the body of this Act specified in subclause (4) is to be treated as a cross-reference to the corresponding replacement provision on or after the commencement of this section.
