These Regulations amend the Advice and Assistance (Assistance By Way of Representation) (Scotland) Regulations 2003 to make assistance by way of representation available in relation to proceedings relating to community payback orders (except where those proceedings are conducted before a designated drug court). Community payback orders are established by sections 227A to 227ZN of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995. Those sections were inserted by section 14 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, which comes into force on 1st February 2011 by virtue of S.S.I. 2010/413.
