Gangs Act 2024

Miscellaneous provisions - Amendment to Legal Services Act 2011

35: Section 4 amended (Interpretation)

You could also call this:

“Changes who can ask for legal help when dealing with gang-related orders”

This change adds a new type of ‘specified application’ to the Legal Services Act 2011. The new type is for people who are responding to an application under the Gangs Act 2024, or who are already subject to an order under that Act. This means that if you are in this situation, you can now make a specified application in respect of the Gangs Act 2024. This change helps to define who can access certain legal services under the Legal Services Act.
