Article 10 Interim certificates

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The secretary may issue an interim certificate for legal aid on behalf of the Commission in any case in which the secretary on receiving an application under rule 8 considers that there are reasonable grounds for concluding that the applicant should be granted legal aid in respect of the whole or part of the costs to be incurred by any person before the determination of the application by the Commission.

(2)

Before issuing an interim certificate under paragraph (1) the secretary shall consult the chairman of the Commission or, if it is not practicable to do so, shall consult two other members of the Commission one of whom shall be legally qualified.
