- Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (Diwygiedig)
- Gwreiddiol (a wnaed Fel)
Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Advice and Assistance (Assistance by Way of Representation) (Scotland) Regulations 2003 to provide for the availability of Assistance by Way of Representation (“ABWOR”) in relation to proceedings relating to an application for an order for recovery of documents in connection with criminal proceedings (“recovery proceedings”), in which a client’s medical or other sensitive documents are sought. ABWOR for recovery proceedings will be approved by the Scottish Legal Aid Board where the Board is satisfied that legal representation is required to allow the client to participate effectively in the proceedings and is available without reference to the financial limits under section 8 of the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986 (“the 1986 Act”) and without the payment of a contribution by the client in terms of section 11(2) of that Act.
These Regulations also amend the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) Regulations 1996 to provide advice and assistance and ABWOR in recovery proceedings will be paid at the criminal rate.
As a result of excluding recovery proceedings from references to criminal legal assistance in section 25A of the 1986 Act, all solicitors will be eligible to provide advice and assistance and ABWOR in recovery proceedings, and not only those solicitors whose name appears on the Criminal Legal Assistance Register.
