(b)

the hearing follows the making of a child protection order;

(c)

a hearing or Pre-Hearing Panel considers it may be necessary to authorise the placement of the child in secure accommodation; or

(d)

the hearing follows the child being apprehended by the police if it has been decided that criminal proceedings are not going to be pursued.

284.Subsection (3) confers power on the Scottish Ministers to extend or restrict, by regulations, the circumstances in respect of which children’s legal aid is automatically available.
