The Criminal Defence Service (Financial Eligibility) (Amendment) Regulations 2009
These Regulations extend the cases in which an individual must be financially eligible to receive publicly funded representation in criminal proceedings to proceedings in which the individual is committed for sentence from a magistrates’ court to the Crown Court (regulation 4). They also make minor changes to the Criminal Defence Service (Financial Eligibility) Regulations 2006 (regulations 3 and 5 to 8).
