The Criminal Legal Aid (Fixed Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2013
These Regulations amend the Criminal Legal Aid (Fixed Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 S.I.1999/491 (“the 1999 Regulations”) to provide that in certain circumstances, and subject to certain conditions, the Scottish Legal Aid Board (“the Board”) may determine that a solicitor is not to receive fixed payments for work done in connection with a grant of assistance by way of representation but instead is to receive payment based on the amount of time spent and work done in providing the assistance by way of representation.
