The Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) Regulations 2002 to require the resources of any person who owes an obligation of aliment to a child to be taken into account when assessing the child’s financial eligibility for civil legal aid. The requirement is not to apply where its application would produce an unjust or inequitable result in the circumstances.
