(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Legal Aid, Advice and Assistance (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 so as to:
(a)
increase the upper income limit to make legal advice and assistance available to those with disposable income of not more than £208 a week (instead of £203);
(b)
increase the lower income limit below which legal advice and assistance is available without payment of a contribution to £88 a week (instead of £86).
No changes are made to the capital limits.
