The Civil Legal Aid (Procedure, Remuneration and Statutory Charge) (Amendment) Regulations 2018
These Regulations amend three statutory instruments relating to the provision of civil legal services under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10) (“the Act”), as a result of the coming into force of the 2018 Standard Civil Contract and the 2018 Civil Legal Advice Contract (“2018 CLA Contract”) on 1st September 2018. These contracts are made in accordance with section 2 of the Act. The 2018 Standard Civil Contract governs the provision of face-to-face legal aid services in all civil categories. The 2018 CLA Contract governs the provision of remote legal aid services in certain civil categories. These Regulations also re-categorise work in the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the Upper Tribunal as Licensed Work.
