(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Costs in Criminal Cases (General) Regulations 1986 so as to provide that the system set out in Part III for the payment of defendants' costs out of central funds should apply with any necessary modifications to the remuneration of a legal representative appointed by the court to cross-examine a witness under section 38(4) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (for example in sexual cases).
