There’s no change. Where a person is detained under section 41 or schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, continue to select the “terrorism” category within the CJSA process in Legal Aid Online and submit your claim for consultation and/or attending a detention interview.
For ABWOR applications for further detention or extensions under the Terrorism Act 2000, you should continue to submit your online ABWOR application in the usual way using category TERF. There’s no change here as ABWOR continues to be available for paragraph 29 of Schedule 8 or for the extension of a warrant for further detention under paragraph 36 of Schedule 8 of the Terrorism Act 2000. There is no means testing or financial contribution, nor is there a requirement for the prior approval by us.
Note: These arrangements are different to the ABWOR for procedures under section 19, 30 and 36(1)(a) of the 2016 Act (for example, review of liberation conditions, etc.) where eligibility is based on the standard advice and assistance criteria and there is a requirement to obtain our prior approval and that a grant is in the interests of justice.
For applications granted after 17 February 2021, you will no longer be paid by way of detailed fees and you must ensure that your account is charged under Schedule 3, Part V of the Advice and Assistance (Scotland) Regulations 1996. These are block fee tables payable at the same levels as are prescribed in respect of the 2016 Act ABWOR cases.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to submit online accounts for grants on or after 17 February 2021 at the moment. We are updating our systems and will let you know as soon as this becomes available.
Should a case arise, and you wish to submit your account, we do have a facility for you to send paper accounts by secure email. Details of this can be found in our guidance.
