  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Justices’ Allowances Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1423) (“the 2015 Regulations”), which govern the claiming of allowances by lay justices for travelling, subsistence or financial loss under section 15 of the Courts Act 2003.\nRegulation 2 amends regulation 2 of the 2015 Regulations. It removes the requirement for lay justices to submit an Annual Declaration and to use a prescribed claim form in order to claim allowances, as well as removing the authorisation for lay justices to submit claims in a different format with the agreement of the Lord Chancellor. It also revokes the Schedules to the 2015 Regulations containing the prescribed forms.\nRegulation 2 also prescribes in detail the generic particulars to be provided in order to submit an allowances claim, as well as additional particulars to be provided for a claim for travelling, subsistence or financial loss allowances.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.",
