  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Criminal Defence Service (Contribution Orders) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/3328), which make provision for contribution orders for the cost of publicly funded representation in criminal trials in and appeals to the Crown Court. Following amendments to the Access to Justice Act 1999 made by the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25), the amending Regulations provide that the costs of enforcing a contribution order may be added to the amount due under the order (regulations 3 to 6) and that overdue sums may be recovered through magistrates’ courts, county courts and the High Court (regulation 6).\nAn impact assessment relating to the introduction of means testing in the Crown Court is available from Criminal Legal Aid Strategy Division, Ministry of Justice, 102 Petty France, London SW1H 9AJ or at www.justice.gov.uk.",
