Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend section 17(2)(a) of the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986 which provides that a legally assisted person’s contribution may include–
“(a)if his disposable income exceeds £3,060 a year, a contribution in respect of income which shall not be more than one quarter of the excess (or such other proportion of the excess, or such amount, as may be prescribed by Regulations made under this section)”.
These Regulations substitute for the yearly amount of £3,060 of disposable income at which civil legal aid may be available without payment of a contribution in respect of income the yearly amount of £2,293.
These Regulations also increase the proportion of the excess of disposable income which constitutes the maximum amount of the contribution which may be payable from one quarter to one third of the excess.
These Regulations only apply in relation to any case where an application for civil legal aid is made to the Scottish Legal Aid Board on or after 12th April 1993.
