Regulation 9 Amendments to the Community Legal Service (Financial) Regulations 2000

For regulation 38(8), substitute—

“(8)

Paragraph (9) applies where the Commission funds Legal Representation or Support Funding in proceedings which it considers to have a significant wider public interest and either:

(a)

the Commission considers it cost-effective to fund those services for a specified claimant or claimants, but not for other claimants or potential claimants who might benefit from the litigation; or

(b)

the Commission is funding those services in a Multi-Party Action and it considers it cost-effective to fund those services only in relation to specific issues within that action.”.
