Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

In calculating the income of the individual, the representation authority must treat the resources of his partner as his resources, unless the partner has a contrary interest in the proceedings in respect of which he is seeking a representation order.

(2)

Where it appears to the representation authority that—

(a)

another person is or has been or is likely to be substantially maintaining the individual or his partner; or

(b)

any of the resources of another person have been or are likely to be made available to the individual or his partner,

the representation authority may assess or estimate the value of the resources of that other person and may treat all or any part of them as the resources of the individual.
