The Criminal Defence Service (Representation Orders: Appeals etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2010
These Regulations amend the Criminal Defence Service (Representation Orders: Appeals etc.) Regulations 2006, which provide for appeals and renewed applications where an individual who is involved in criminal proceedings has been refused publicly funded representation on the grounds that the interests of justice do not require the grant of a representation order. These Regulations provide that in magistrates’ courts’ cases the individual may make a renewed application to the authority responsible for granting representation orders in magistrates’ courts, after which there is an appeal to the court.
