These Regulations increase the financial limits of eligibility for legal aid under Part I of the Legal Aid Act 1974.
The income limits are increased to make legal aid available to those with disposable incomes of not more than £5585 a year and available without payment of a contribution to those with disposable incomes of £2325 a year or less.
The upper limit of disposable capital, above which legal aid may be refused if it appears that the applicant could afford to proceed without legal aid, is increased to £4850. No change is made to the lower limit of disposable capital of £3000, below which no contribution in respect of capital may be required.
