Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Prior to 1st April 1991, limits of £60 and £150 (depending on the type of case) apply to the cost of assistance by way of representation and advice and assistance which solicitors may provide without seeking the prior approval of the Scottish Legal Aid Board. In cases to which the higher limit applies, the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) (Prospective Cost) (No.2) Regulations 1988 place a duty on solicitors to notify the Board within 14 days of the lower limit being exceeded.
As from 1st April 1991, the lower limit is to be raised from £60 to £80 by the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) (Prospective Cost) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/1096). These Regulations accordingly substitute in the 1988 Regulations references to that new lower limit.
