Regulation 9 Attendance for interview and supply of information
An applicant for children’s legal aid must, if required by the Board to do so, attend for interview by a representative of the Board or supply such further information or documents as the Board may require to enable it to determine the application or to make determination as to the amount of contribution to the Fund.
Where an applicant for children’s legal aid fails to comply with a requirement under paragraph (1)—
the Board may treat the application as having been abandoned, and where it does so it must give intimation of the abandonment to the applicant; and
the Board has the right to recover from the applicant the amount paid out of the Fund in respect of fees and outlays of the applicant’s solicitors and counsel, less any amount received from that person by way of contribution.
