The Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) (Amendment) Order 2014

This Order amends the Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/1077) (“the 2001 Order”), which makes provision about payment by the Lord Chancellor for funded services provided by counsel in family proceedings under the Access to Justice Act 1999 (c. 22) (“the Act”) under what is known as the Family Graduated Fee Scheme (“FGFS”). The 2001 Order was revoked by S.I. 2011/1027, and the Act was repealed by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c.10), but in each case this was subject to saving provisions, so both the 2001 Order and the Act continue to have effect in limited circumstances.
