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 £223 a week (instead of £215);
(b) increase the lower income limit below which legal advice and assistance is available without payment of a contribution to £95 a week (instead of £91).
No changes are made to the capital limits.
