EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the regulations)
    These Regulations amend the Legal Aid in Criminal and Care Proceedings (Costs) Regulations 1989 by omitting the provisions dealing with remuneration for care proceedings. [As a result of amendments to the Legal Aid Act 1988 by the Children Act 1989 (c. 41), care proceedings after 14th October 1991 form part of civil legal aid. Provision for remuneration for care proceedings in all courts is now made in the Legal Aid in Family Proceedings (Remuneration) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2038).]
