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 Magistrates’ Courts and County Court appeal proceedings.

The remuneration for solicitors and counsel assigned under Article 28 or 30 of the Legal Aid, Advice and Assistance (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 in respect of cases in the Magistrates’ Courts and County Court appeals is prescribed under the Magistrates’ Courts and County Court Appeals (Criminal Legal Aid) (Costs) Rules (Northern Ireland) 2009.
