Legal aid
A system providing specified legal assistance and access-to-justice benefits to those meeting statutory requirements.
What to bear in mind
Eligibility depends on the case and applicable criteria; it does not mean every expense or adverse costs order is unconditionally covered.
Preparing for your consultation
Bring the full decision, notification, filed submissions and relevant documents. Deadlines and requirements depend on the particular procedural step.
