  "text": "(This note is not part of these Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Community Legal Service (Financial) Regulations 2000 (“the principal Regulations”), which govern financial aspects of the provisions of services funded by the Legal Services Commission in civil matters as part of the Community Legal Service.\nRegulations 2, 5, 6 and 8(1), 9 and 10 make minor amendments to the principal Regulations and are consequential on amendments to the Funding Code which abolish Support Funding.\nRegulations 3 and 4 provide for amendments to regulation 3 of the principal Regulations, which sets out the areas in which funded services are available irrespective of the financial resources of the client. Regulation 3 makes a minor amendment to regulation 3(1)(d) to make it clear, in relation to proceedings under the Children Act 1989, which parties are entitled to non-means tested services where there are linked proceedings. Regulation 4 provides for an amendment to regulation 3(1)(g)(iv) substituting reference to Council Regulation (EC) No. 2201/2003 of 27 November 2003, which now governs the jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of judgments in matrimonial matters and the matters of parental responsibility. This Council Regulation repeals and replaces Council Regulation (EC) No. 1347/2000 of 29 May 2000.\nRegulations 7 and 8(2) amend the principal Regulations in relation to the funding of legal services at certain inquests. They permit waiver of the eligibility limit where any legal services, and not only advocacy, are provided and permit waiver of contributions where the client is ineligible financially for legal aid as well as where he is eligible.\nRegulations 11 and 12 amend the provisions of the principal Regulations about postponement of enforcement of the charge created by section 10(7) of the Access to Justice Act 1999. In particular, it provides for the circumstances in which—\nenforcement of the charge will not be postponed\ndecisions to postpone enforcement of the charge will be reviewed.\nThese regulations also contain transitional provisions.",
