Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Rules.)

These Rules amend the Legal Aid in Criminal Proceedings (Costs) Rules (Northern Ireland) 1992 to provide that those rules do not apply to the determination of costs in respect of diversionary youth conferences and attendance at court-ordered youth conferences.

The remuneration for solicitors and counsel assigned under Articles 28, 28A, 29 and 30 of the Legal Aid, Advice and Assistance (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 in respect of diversionary youth conferences and attendance at court-ordered youth conferences is prescribed under the Legal Aid for Youth Conferences (Costs) Rules (Northern Ireland) 2003.
