# The Legal Advice and Assistance (Amendment) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations are consequential on the Legal Advice and Assitance (Scope) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/ ), which make assistance by way of representation (ABWOR) available to a person in respect of whom an application is made for a warrant of further detention, or an extension of such a warrant, under Schedule 8 to the Terrorism Act 2000. They amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/340) so that, in relation to such cases:
(a) the normal provisions relating to applications for advice and assitance do not apply;
(b) ABWOR is available without regard to the applicant’s financial resources; and
(c) ABWOR does not require the approval of the Legal Services Commission.
