  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Criminal Legal Aid (Remuneration) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/435; the “2013 Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 amends Schedule 1 to the 2013 Regulations to provide for a fee payable to a trial advocate in a case where a special measures direction provides for a video recording to be admitted under section 28 (video recorded cross-examination or re-examination) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (c. 23) (the “1999 Act”). Regulation 2(7) inserts amendments providing that in such cases, a fee of £670 per case is payable to the trial advocate of the respect of all cross-examination, including any re-examination, which is recorded by means of video recording and where such a recording is admissible, so far as it relates to any such cross-examination, including re-examination, by virtue of a special measures direction. For this purpose, “special measures direction” has the meaning given in section 33(1) interpretation etc of Chapter I of the 1999 Act. Regulation 2 also clarifies that the trial does not include such a cross-examination or re-examination for the purposes of identifying the “trial advocate” in certain provisions in the 2013 Regulations concerning payment of advocates.\nRegulation 3 makes provision about the application of the amendments.\nAn impact assessment on the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Legal Aid Policy Team, Access to Justice Directorate, Justice and Courts Policy Group, Ministry of Justice, 102 Petty France, London SW1H 9AJ. The impact assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside these Regulations on the UK legislation website at http://www.legislation.gov.uk.",
