(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Civil Legal Aid (Procedure) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3098). In particular, it allows for a determination as to whether an individual qualifies for certain civil legal services to have effect from a date prior to the date of the determination in certain circumstances.
Regulation 3 of these Regulations contains a saving provision. Under this, the amendments made by regulation 2 do not apply to applications for civil legal services of the types described in regulation 3 which were made before 20th February 2019.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as no, or no significant, impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
