The Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (Costs) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1994
These Regulations amend the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (Costs) Regulations 1989 to take account of the Legal Aid Board’s franchising scheme. The Board has power under section 4 of the Legal Aid Act 1988 to enter into contracts for the provision of representation in criminal proceedings in magistrates' courts. Where representation is provided under a franchising contract the franchisee may claim an interim payment.
