# The Legal Advice and Assistance (Amendment No. 3) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/340). Those Regulations were revoked by virtue of the repeal of enabling provisions in the Legal Aid Act 1988 (c. 34) by the Access to Justice Act 1999 (c. 22), but apply to legal advice and assistance which continue to be provided under Part III of the Legal Aid Act 1988 notwithstanding its repeal, by virtue of the transitional savings contained in the Access to Justice Act 1999 (Commencement No. 3, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/774).
The Regulations amend Schedule 6 to the 1989 Regulations, providing for revised rates of remuneration for advice and assistance in criminal matters provided by persons holding general criminal contracts under the Access to Justice Act 1999.
