The Civil Legal Aid (Connected Matters) Regulations 2013
Paragraph 46(1) of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (“the Act”) provides that prescribed civil legal services, in prescribed circumstances, may be made available in connection with the provision of services described in any other paragraph of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Act. Regulation 3 of these Regulations prescribes both the civil legal services and the circumstances in which they may be made available for the purpose of paragraph 46(1). The effect is that where an individual qualifies for civil legal services described in a paragraph of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Act (other than paragraph 46), further civil legal services in relation to the identification of a proposed defendant or respondent may be made available in connection with the provision of services described in that other paragraph.
