HCJ ‘This appeal, following upon a Reference from the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, raises an issue concerning the proportionality of prohibitions in Sexual Offences Prevention Orders (SOPOs) which restrict a person’s access to the internet. The decision in that regard may have some resonance in relation to conditions attached to other sentencing disposals, including community payback orders.’
