EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These regulations amend the Legal Advice and Assistance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1981 ("the 1981 regulations").
Regulations 4 and 16 of the 1981 regulations allow the secretary to a committee to perform certain functions on behalf of the committee. Those functions are transferred to the Northern Ireland Legal Services Commission by the Access to Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 2003. Regulation 4 of the 1981 regulations is revoked, and regulation 16 is amended, in the light of the general powers of the Commission to delegate its functions under Article 7 of that Order.
