Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations lay down the payment, accounting and banking requirements for justices' chief executives to take account of the changes in the financial arrangements for magistrates' courts made by section 91 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 which comes into force on 1st April 2001.
The Regulations replace the Justices' Clerks (Accounts) Regulations 1973 No 579 which lapse with the repeal of section 60(4) of the Justices of the Peace Act 1997 by section 91.
