Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Legal Aid (Scotland) (Fees in Criminal Proceedings) Regulations 1984 so as to increase the fees allowable to counsel for legal aid in criminal proceedings given under the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1967. The increased fees will apply to proceedings concluded on or after 1st June 1988.
The Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1967 continues in effect, despite its general repeal by the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986, in respect of legal aid applications which were granted before commencement of the 1986 Act on 1st April 1987. (See paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 4 to the 1986 Act.) It is thus only in respect of proceedings following upon such applications that these Regulations increase the fees.
The overall increase is around 4 1/2 per cent.
