Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989 by excluding from the assessment of costs under the Regulations the provisions of the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (Costs) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/343) which allow for reduction and enhancement of the prescribed rates and by amending the scale of contributions payable for legal advice and assistance.
1988 c. 34; sections 9 and 34 were amended by the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 (c. 41), Schedule 18, paragraph 63. Section 43 is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning assigned to the word "regulations".
S.I. 1989/340.
