Regulation 31 Termination of children’s legal aid other than on change of circumstances

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The Board may cease to make children’s legal aid available to an assisted person—

(a)

if it appears to it that the assisted person—

(i)

has required the proceedings to be conducted unreasonably so as to incur an unjustifiable expense to the Fund;

(ii)

has failed to comply with any condition imposed under section 28G of the Act; or

(iii)

has failed without reasonable excuse to attend for an interview or to provide information or documents when so required under these Regulations; or

(b)

if it is satisfied that there has been an error or mistake in the assessment as to whether it is reasonable in the particular circumstances of the case that the assisted person should receive children’s legal aid, and that children’s legal aid should never have been made available.
