JUDGE ADVOCATE OF THE FLEET |
|
From 1661 the office of Judge Advocate of the Fleet (JAF) existed to supervise the Royal Navy Courts-martial system, separately from the Judge Advocate General (JAG). The two historic offices were amalgamated by the Armed Forces Act 2006, with the role of JAF subsumed into JAG. The Armed Forces Act 2006 repealed the three Service Discipline Acts of 1955/57, establishing a single system of Service law, and created the Court Martial as a standing court. This came into effect on 31 October 2009.
