(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made in order to delete the provision in article 6 of the Criminal Defence Service (Funding) Order whereby representation which is funded by the Lord Chancellor in a Very High Cost Case is to be remunerated at rates no higher than those set out in Schedule 5 to that Order. The rates set out in Schedule 5 are those to be paid for Very High Cost Cases which are governed by a contract with the Legal Services Commission.
