These Regulations make amendments to the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) Regulations 1989 consequential on the Legal Aid (Prescribed Panels) Amendment Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/1930), so as to provide that a solicitor assigned under a legal aid order in the magistrates' court must be a member of the Crime Franchise Panel.
The Regulations also make various minor amendments to the forms in Schedule 2. These include, in the Statement of Means, changes consequential on the exclusion of the system of the assessment of applicants' financial resources in certain circumstances introduced by the Legal Aid Act 1988 (Modification) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2227) and the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (General) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2226). These circumstances are:
(i)where a person appears before a magistrates' court following charge at a police station, other than in relation to an offence triable only on indictment or any other offence where the court sends a person to the Crown Court for trial under section 51 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998; and
(ii)where a person appears before a youth court.
