Regulation 11 Authority to exceed financial limit
Where at any time it appears to the solicitor that the cost of giving the advice and assistance is likely to exceed the limit applicable under section 10 of the Act or under paragraph (2) below he shall apply to the Board for its approval to an increased limit, stating the reasons for the excess, the likely amount, and giving such other information as may enable the Board to consider and determine that application.
The Board, if it approves an application made under paragraph (1) above,–
shall authorise such increased limit as it thinks fit; and
may require that the advice and assistance be subject to such conditions, and limited to such subject matter, or, in the case of assistance by way of representation, such proceedings (or stages of proceedings), as it thinks fit.
The Board shall inform the solicitor of its decision in regard to an application under paragraph (1) above.
