The Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (Freezing Order) (England and Wales and Northern Ireland) Regulations 2021
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. They relate to the freezing order provisions under the Crime (International Co-Operation) Act 2003 (CICA) and remove references from CICA, to an EU Framework Decision which are no longer appropriate now the UK has left the EU. To ensure continuity of effect in relation to the freezing order provisions, these Regulations replace references to the EU Framework Decision with references to two new schedules to CICA which are also added by virtue of this Instrument and seek to replicate the content of the previous references.
