The Criminal Legal Aid (Fixed Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 1999
These Regulations make new provision for payment of criminal legal aid to solicitors from the Scottish Legal Aid Fund in respect of summary proceedings. Provision is made for fixed payments to be made in respect of the professional services provided by a solicitor including certain prescribed outlays. Where these regulations apply the fixed payments replace the fees and outlays formerly payable to solicitors in terms of the Criminal Legal Aid (Scotland) (Fees) Regulations 1989.
