(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 Crown Court proceedings.

The remuneration for solicitors and counsel assigned under Article 29, or deemed to have been granted under Article 36(2), of the Legal Aid, Advice and Assistance (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 in respect of cases in the Crown Court is prescribed under the Legal Aid for Crown Court Proceedings (Costs) Rules (Northern Ireland) 2005.
