# The Community Legal Service (Financial) (Amendment No.2) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Community Legal Service (Financial) Regulations 2000 which govern the financial aspects of the provision of services funded by the Legal Services Commission in civil matters.
These Regulations amend the definition of ‘family proceedings’ to include proceedings under the Civil Partnership Act 2004.
These Regulations increase the range of Legal Help available to those in receipt of certain benefits provided under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
They also transfer the power to disapply certain eligibility limits in relation to applications for funding of services at inquests to the Legal Services Commission in limited circumstances. Also, the power to waive part or all of contributions that may be payable is transferred to the Lord Chancellor in limited circumstances.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been made for this instrument, as it has no significant impact on the costs of businesses, charities or voluntary bodies.
