# The Criminal Defence Service (General) (No. 2) (Amendment) Regulations 2010, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Criminal Defence Service (General) (No. 2) Regulations 2001, which deal with advice and assistance and representation in criminal cases funded by the Legal Services Commission as part of the Criminal Defence Service.
Regulation 2 substitutes a new regulation 7 in the 2001 Regulations to provide for the grant of representation orders in respect of criminal proceedings in the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Regulation 7 of the 2001 Regulations was previously substituted by regulation 5 of the Criminal Defence Service (General) (No. 2) (Amendment No. 4) Regulations 2009. Regulation 5 of the 2009 Regulations was defective and this instrument corrects that defect. This instrument is therefore being issued free of charge to all known recipients of the 2009 Regulations.
Regulations 3 and 5 make consequential amendments to regulations 9A and 13(1) respectively of the 2001 Regulations.
Regulation 4 amends the heading to regulation 10 of the 2001 Regulations and substitutes a reference to “the House of Lords” with “the Supreme Court”.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
