(a)in consequence of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995, the definition of “legal representative” has been amended to include a person having parental responsibilities in relation to a child (regulation 2(1)); and
(b)the prior approval of the Scottish Legal Aid Board will be required for work of an unusual nature or likely to involve unusually large expenditure (regulation 14). By virtue of regulation 1(2) this amendment will apply only to work done on or after 1st November 1996.
