(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the fees allowable to solicitors and counsel in Scotland for criminal legal aid given under the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986. The fees are the same as those previously prescribed in relation to legal aid for criminal proceedings under the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1967, except that fees for interim solicitors, who have no equivalent under the new arrangements, are not prescribed.
