Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Community Legal Service (Funding) Order 2000. Amendments are made to articles 2 and 5 of that Order in consequence of the establishment under section 26 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004 of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, which replaces immigration adjudicators and the Immigration Appeal Tribunal. Article 5 is also amended so that the maximum rates of remuneration under contracts specified in that article do not apply in relation to Legal Representation before the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal or the High Court in applications under section 103A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, or before the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal in proceedings for the reconsideration of an appeal pursuant to an order under section 103A.
