Explanatory Note

These Regulations replace with amendments the Legal Advice and Representation (Duty Solicitor) (Remuneration) Regulations 1987. They provide for determination and review by the Legal Aid Board of the remuneration payable to duty solicitors providing advice and assistance by way of representation at magistrates' court under regulations 7 and 8 of the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989. The main changes are:–

(a)to reflect the taking over of responsibility for the administration of legal aid by the Legal Aid Board; and

(b)to increase by 25% remuneration for work done at a magistrates' court on a bank holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday (regulation 5).

The rates of remuneration are fixed by reference to the rates provided for advocacy and for travelling and waiting (currently £46 and £20.50 per hour respectively) in paragraph 1(1)(a) of Part I of Schedule 1 to the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (Costs) Regulations 1989.
