These Regulations amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations 1989 to take account of the Legal Aid Boards franchising scheme. The Board has power under section 4 of the Legal Aid Act 1988 to enter into contracts for the provision of advice and assistance. Where a franchising contract applies, functions of the Boards Area Director may be exercised by a franchisee. Special contractual provisions relevant to payments and payments on account will apply to franchisees instead of the provisions contained in the regulations, and applications for advice and assistance may be made by telephone or by post.
