# The Legal Aid (Information about Financial Resources) (Amendment) Regulations 2015

S.I. 2015/1408 · made 23 June 2015

These Regulations revoke regulation 11 of the Legal Aid, Community Legal Service and Criminal Defence Service (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/838) (“the amending Regulations”) and omits the amendment it purported to make to the Legal Aid (Information about Financial Resources) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/628) (“the Financial Resources Regulations”). The Financial Resources Regulations are made under section 22 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10) (“the Act”). By virtue of section 41(7) of the Act, a statutory instrument which contains regulations made under section 22 of the Act may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by, a resolution of, each House of Parliament. The amending Regulations, by reason of the inclusion of regulation 11, did not comply with section 41(7) of the Act. To address this procedural error, these Regulations revoke regulation 11 of the amending Regulations and omit the words regulation 11 purported to insert in the Financial Resources Regulations.
