How to appeal against a legal aid decision
If an application for legal aid is rejected, the legal aid office will provide appeal instructions to the applicant. A rejected application can be submitted to the court for a hearing. The applicant should deliver the submission to the legal aid office, which can also itself rectify the decision. If the legal aid office deems that there is no reason for a rectification, it will forward the matter to the court, which will then decide on the matter.
