Regulation 1

These Regulations may be cited as the Criminal Defence Service (Representation Orders: Appeals etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 and come into force on the day after the day on which they are made.

These Regulations apply to decisions, on or after the date on which the Regulations come into force, not to grant a representation order to an individual on the grounds that the interests of justice do not require such an order to be granted.

In paragraph (2) “representation order” means a document granting a right to representation under section 14 of the Access to Justice Act 1999.
