# The Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) (Fees) Amendment Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) (Fees) Regulations 1989 so as to increase the fees allowable to Counsel for civil legal aid (and for legal aid in certain proceedings relating to children) given under the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986. The increase will apply to fees for work done on or after 1st April 1990. The overall increase is around 8%.
Regulation 4 corrects an omission in the principal Regulations which allows Counsel to add value added tax to their fees, where appropriate.
