Publisher:

Price: £21.71

The Armed Forces Act is a five-year implementation of measures to bring military law in line with developments in civilian law. Service law is mainly contained in three separate Service Discipline Acts (SDAs) - the Navy Discipline Act 1957 and the Army and Air Force Acts 1955 - which are finite and must be renewed every five years through the Armed Forces Act.

This Act is in Four Parts:

  • The continuance of services Acts

  • Powers of entry, search and seizure

  • Trial and punishment of offences

  • Miscellaneous and general

This statutory framework through which the three armed services operate applies to "wherever in the world they are based, whether in peace times or conflict".

Explanatory notes to assist in the understanding of this Act have also been produced and are available to order here.
