EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations make amendments to the Civil Legal Aid (General) Regulations 1989 in order to change the method of calculation of interest on the statutory charge created by section 16 of the Legal Aid Act 1988. They apply to transitional cases to which the principal Regulations continue to apply by virtue of the provisions in the Access to Justice Act 1999 (Commencement No. 3, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2000.

They also make amendments consequential on amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 governing appeals.
