Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations increase from £60 to £80 the cost of certain legal advice and assistance (including assistance by way of representation) under the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986 which a solicitor may grant without obtaining the prior approval of the Scottish Legal Aid Board.

This limit applies to all legal advice and assistance other than that defined in the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) (Prospective Cost) (No.3) Regulations 1988.
