(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Legal Aid (Mediation in Family Matters) Regulations 1997 so as to change the weekly disposable income limit for eligibility for mediation from £172 to £178.
1988 c. 34; sections 34 and 43 were amended by the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 (c. 41), Schedule 18, paragraphs 60 and 63 and by the Family Law Act 1996 (c. 27), section 26 and Schedule 8, paragraph 44. Section 13B(2) was inserted by the Family Law Act 1996, section 27. Section 43 is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning given to "regulations".
