The Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 1997
Section 158 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 changes the procedure for extradition hearings before magistrates to one similar to that for summary trials. These Regulations make consequential amendments to the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) Regulations 1989 in order to allow defendants to be represented at such hearings by counsel where appropriate.
