# The Criminal Defence Service (Funding) (Amendment) Order 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Criminal Defence Service (Funding) Order 2001 (“the 2001 Order”).
Schedule 2 to the 2001 Order deals with solicitors' fees. The amendment confers a right for solicitors to apply for the reclassification of certain offences when having their fees determined. The right relates only to indictable offences classified within Class H when they are not listed in the Table of Offences at the end of Schedule 4. The way an offence is classified will determine whether it may be possible to receive fees at more than the prescribed relevant rates.
