8AF1Funding code: pilot provisions
1
The code may contain provisions (“pilot provisions”) which are to have effect for a specified period not exceeding 3 years.
2
Pilot provisions may be expressed so as to apply only in relation to—
a
one or more specified areas or localities;
b
one or more specified descriptions of court or tribunal;
c
one or more specified descriptions of service that may be provided as part of the Community Legal Service;
d
one or more specified classes of person;
e
persons selected—
i
by reference to specified criteria; or
ii
on a sampling basis.
3
Pilot provisions may disapply any other provision of the code in relation to any of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e) of subsection (2).
4
The period for the time being specified in relation to pilot provisions may be revised—
a
if the period is one of less than 3 years, so that it becomes a longer period not exceeding 3 years;
b
so that it becomes a period which exceeds 3 years by such amount as the Commission thinks necessary for the purpose of securing that the pilot provisions remain in operation until the coming into force of a revised code that contains similar provisions that will have effect—
i
generally, or
ii
for purposes wider than those for which the pilot provisions have effect.
5
If the code contains pilot provisions, the code may also contain consequential or transitional provision with respect to the cessation of the pilot provisions on the expiry of the specified period (or that period as revised under subsection (4)).
