"This briefing is one in a series on the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 64) (‘the Bill’). It considers a range of ‘justice issues’ arising from the Bill. These include the reforms in Parts 8 – 12 of Bill to the disposals that can be made by the criminal courts in respect of accused persons and offenders with a mental disorder, and the new offences created in Part 17 of the Bill designed to protect people with a mental disorder from abuse. The briefing also includes consideration of the interaction between the Bill and the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill (SP Bill 50) and the Mental Health (Public Safety and Appeals) (Scotland) Act 1999. Related SPICe briefings are listed at the back of this briefing."
