Text of statute as originally enacted |
The Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act 1998 is a law passed in the United Kingdom, which came into force on 4 September 1998. It stipulated that it is an offense to participate in a conspiracy to carry out a course of conduct that leads to an offense in another jurisdiction.[1] It gave courts in England and Wales the authority to try conspiracies to commit offences abroad.[1] The law also provided stricter punishment for being a member of a terror group. Parts of it were replaced by the Terrorism Act 2000[2] and the Proceeds of Crime Act passed in 2002.[3]
