LAB FAQS - Frequently Asked Questions

11. If I am refused legal aid or advice, what can I do?
There are a number of steps that you can take. If you are refused legal aid or advice, you may submit further information to the Board and have the decision reviewed.

You may appeal against any decision, including any decision taken following a review of the original decision. Your appeal will be considered by an appeal committee consisting of a chairperson and four ordinary members of the Board of whom two must be practising solicitors or barristers.

A decision by the appeal committee is the final decision of the Board in relation to any application / matter. You may, of course, seek to take judicial review proceedings against the Board in relation to any decision taken by the Board.
