The Criminal Defence Service (General) (No.2) (Amendment No.4) Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the Criminal Defence Service (General) (No. 2) Regulations 2001, which deal with advice and assistance and representation in criminal cases funded by the Legal Services Commission as part of the Criminal Defence Service. The amendments are consequential on the re-introduction of means testing in Crown Court cases. They indicate where applications for representation orders are to be sent to and limit the power of the court to grant representation.
