(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) Regulations 1996 (“the principal Regulations”) so as to provide that a solicitor’s right to prior payment of fees and outlays out of any property recovered or preserved for a client in respect of advice and assistance shall not apply to an order made by an employment tribunal (regulation 3).
The reference in the principal Regulations to section 87 of the Employment Protection Act 1975 has been omitted, as that section is now repealed. An updated reference is inserted (regulation 3).
