Legal Services Act 2007

Section 172: Funding

398.This section sets out the mechanism by which the Board and the OLC receive funding to meet their expenditure in carrying out their functions. The Lord Chancellor may pay sums to the Board or the OLC to cover their expenditure under or for the purposes of the Act. The Lord Chancellor may also pay sums to the Board to cover expenditure for the purposes of its functions under any other enactment. This is to ensure that the Board can, via the levy, recover amounts in respect of expenditure resulting from functions which it has under other Acts by virtue of amendments made by this Act. The Lord Chancellor may determine the manner in which, and times at which, sums are to be paid and may impose conditions on the payments.
