# The Community Legal Service (Financial) (Amendment) Regulations 2009, 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 and family matters.
Regulation 5 provides that legal representation in the Court of Protection in cases involving the deprivation of a person’s liberty under Schedule A1 to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 is to be provided irrespective of the financial resources of the client or the client’s representative. Regulations 6, 7, 9 and 10 increase the financial eligibility limits for monthly and disposable income. Regulation 8 makes minor corrections.
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.
