The Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2000
These Regulations substitute a new version of regulation 48 of the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) Regulations 1989, which sets out the relevant considerations and options available to courts when making or amending a legal aid order providing for the services of a Queen’s Counsel or for more than one advocate. They also amend regulation 54(1)(d), which provides that the Legal Aid Board can authorise the use of a Queen’s Counsel alone in cases where the legal aid order does not provide for this, by restricting this provision to magistrates' courts.
