LEGAL AID AND ADVICE

These Regulations amend the Legal Aid (Assessment of Resources) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1981 to insert references to the legal status of civil partners, as created by the provisions of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, to ensure an application for legal aid from any person who is in a civil partnership is determined in a manner consistent with the existing Regulations.
