Transitional etc provisions associated with Act or amendments

Criminal Law (Legal Representation) (Reimbursement of Commission) Amendment Act 2020, Sch 1—Transitional provisions etc

1—Application

(1) The amendments to the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 enacted by this Act apply in respect of a criminal case commenced before or after the commencement of this Act and irrespective of whether, before that commencement—

(a) legal assistance of a kind mandated under section 6(1) or (1a) of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 had been provided for the case; or

(b) a case management plan had been approved for the case by the Attorney-General under the Expensive Criminal Cases Funding Agreement.

(2) However, if, at the commencement of this Act, the Legal Services Commission has been reimbursed, in whole or part, under section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 in respect of a criminal case, any further entitlement to reimbursement in respect of the case is to be determined under the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 as in force before that commencement.

2—Case management plans

A case management plan approved by the Attorney-General in respect of a criminal case for the purposes of section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 as in force immediately before the commencement of this Act is, after that commencement, taken to be a case management plan approved by the Attorney-General in respect of that criminal case for the purposes of section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 (as substituted by this Act).

3—Expensive Criminal Cases Funding Agreement

The Expensive Criminal Cases Funding Agreement as in force under section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 immediately before the commencement of this Act continues as the Expensive Criminal Cases Funding Agreement in force under section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 after that commencement.
