Regulation 44 Undertaking to account for sums received from third parties

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

Where the applicant–

(a)

appears to be a member of an organisation or body which might reasonably be expected to give him financial assistance in meeting the cost of the proceedings for which the applicant has applied for legal aid; and

(b)

does not appear to have any right to be indemnified by that organisation or body against expenses incurred in connection with those proceedings,

the Area Director shall require the applicant, as a term upon which the certificate will be issued, to sign an undertaking to pay to the Board (in addition to any sums payable under regulations 31 and 32) any sum which he receives from that organisation or body on account of the cost of those proceedings.
