Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These regulations (r 3) declare a short list of named office‑holders to be "agencies of the Crown" for the Crown Proceedings Act 1992 and repeal the 2008 Crown Proceedings Regulations. They commence the day they are made (r 2). Effect: the Crown — and therefore public finances — can be treated as the responsible party in legal proceedings involving those offices, which affects the offices named, people who litigate against or through them, and how legal costs and defences are allocated.
