EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Community Legal Service (Costs) Regulations 2000 which govern the costs aspects of the provision of services funded by the Legal Services Commission.
These Regulations change the reference to those at the Legal Services Commission who are responsible for considering certain claims and applications. The changes are to reflect amendments to the Legal Services Commission Funding Code.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been made for this instrument, as it has no significant impact on the costs of businesses, charities or voluntary bodies.
