[2006] EWCA Crim 2519

It was not a pre-condition to the making of a sexual offences prevention order under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 s.104 that the judge should be satisfied that the offender would also qualify for an extended sentence under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.227 , or that he should regard himself as deprived of the necessary justification if they did not. The schemes under the respective Acts were intended to be, and were, distinct.
