This Order commences section 42 and 91 of, and Schedule 16 to the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (c.2).
Section 42 of the Act amends section 37(15) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, which defines “arrested juvenile” for the purposes of Part 4 of that Act (detention). The effect of the change is that 17 year olds are included in the definition of “arrested juvenile”. The amendments made by section 42 of the Act come into force on 26th October 2015.
Section 91 introduces Schedule 16 of the Act which provides that challenges to a range of planning-related decisions, orders and actions may only be brought with leave of the High Court. Applications for leave must be made within the six-week period following the decision order or action being challenged. Schedule 16 also provides that challenges to the validity of relevant costs orders connected with specific planning decisions, orders and actions can only be brought by way of statutory review.
The amendments made by section 91 and Schedule 16 of the Act only apply to decisions, orders or actions which are confirmed or take effect before 26th October 2015 or to any relevant documents where the date from which they can be challenged is before 26th October 2015.

Orders under section 97 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c.8) and under section 23 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (c.9) take effect without confirmation by virtue of, respectively, sections 99 and 25 of those Acts. The amendments made by Schedule 16 make it clear that in those situations the date used for the calculation of time limits is the date on which the order takes effect; in all other cases, the date on which the order is confirmed is used.
The amendments made by Schedule 16 insert the defined term “relevant costs order” into sections 284 and 288 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and into section 62 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The meaning is materially identical in both cases: a relevant costs order is an order made under section 250(5) of the Local Government Act 1972 (orders as to the costs of parties), as applied by virtue of any provision of the Act in question.
