Legal service provided at appeal stage of asylum process
If the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC) recommends a refusal of your application for asylum, you may be granted legal aid to appeal to the Refugee Appeals Tribunal against that recommendation. Your appeal may be either an oral appeal or a written appeal.
Legal aid may be provided by an RLS solicitor or by a private solicitor/barrister under the Board's Private Practitioner Service. The solicitor/barrister will be responsible for submitting the appeal form within the time limit and a copy of the appeal form will be given to you. If you have an oral appeal, legal aid will include representation at the Refugee Appeals Tribunal on the day of the hearing.
