## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Community Legal Service (Financial) Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/627) which govern the financial aspects of the provision of services funded by the Legal Services Commission in civil and family matters.
These Regulations make a consequential amendment arising from the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15), which replaces certain individual Tribunals, including the Mental Health Review Tribunal, with a new First-tier and Upper Tribunal. The 2000 Regulations contain a reference to the Mental Health Review Tribunal, which will cease to exist under the Act. These Regulations replace this reference with a reference to the First-tier Tribunal established under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, and the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales, which is not part of the new Tribunals system.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument, as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
