Legal Aid
We provide a facility to gain legal aid for cases at the Magistrates Court and Crown Court if you meet the two tests required by the legal aid agency which briefly comprises of the interests of justice test and means test. This is outlined further in the Legal aid section.
Please note the exception to legal aid is that everyone qualifies for legal aid at the police station, regardless of their means. Representation at the Police station is completely free.

Court Appointment
Court Appointment is available only for those who do not qualify for legal aid and cannot or will not pay for representation. In these circumstances if the court believe that the defendant should be prohibited from cross-examining the complainant, the court can appoint an advocate to cross-examine witnesses. The advocate would then be funded through central funds.
