Paragraph 38 Financially assisted persons
An appellant
who has been granted, or has applied for, assistance from public funds under arrangements in force in the appellant’s jurisdiction, or
whose circumstances are such that payment of a fee prescribed by the Appendix to these Rules would involve undue financial hardship,
may file an application to be treated as a financially assisted person by the Judicial Committee.
The Registrar will certify, if the application is approved, that the appellant is to be treated as a financially assisted person.
Where a certificate under paragraph (2) has effect in relation to an appellant, the appellant will be entitled to remission or reduction of any liability for fees and costs in accordance with Part 6 of these Rules and will not be required to give security for costs.
A certificate under paragraph (2) has effect in relation to an appellant until it is withdrawn by the Registrar; and the Registrar may withdraw a certificate in relation to an appellant if—
assistance from public funds is not granted or is withdrawn in the appellant’s jurisdiction;
it is discovered that the appellant’s financial position was incorrectly stated; or
there is a material change in the appellant’s financial position.
