LEGAL AID AND ADVICE

This Order modifies the application of regulation 3(c)(v) of the Advice and Assistance (Financial Limit) (Scotland) Regulations 1993, which specifies the financial limit for certain forms of assistance by way of representation in justice of the peace court proceedings (other than those before a stipendiary magistrate). District courts are being phased out and replaced by justice of the peace courts. This Order ensures that the same financial limit which applies to assistance by way of representation in proceedings before a justice of the peace court applies in relation to proceedings before any remaining district court.
