The Legal Aid in Family Proceedings (Remuneration) (Amendment) Regulations 1991
These Regulations amend the Legal Aid in Family Proceedings (Remuneration) Regulations 1991 (the principal Regulations) so as to—ensure that the procedure for determining payment in care proceedings begun before 14th October continues without change but that the rates payable for work done on or after that date will be those provided under the principal Regulations (regulation 2);prevent the rates contained in Schedule 2(a) to the principal Regulations applying to all work, including work done in earlier years (which was remunerated under the Rules according to different rates) and to provide for work to be remunerated according to the rates which applied at the time when the work was done (regulation 3); andsubstitute a new definition of “prescribed family proceedings” since the definition in the principal Regulations was too wide and referred to a statutory provision which will lapse before the principal Regulations come into force (regulation 4).
