Legal Aid Regulations
[1988 Ed.
[Subsidiary]
(3) Any aided person may apply to the Director for a direction that paragraph (2) shall not apply to him on the ground that, having regard to the probable cost of any proceedings referred to or to the likelihood of their being successful, it would be unreasonable to take them and, if the Director agrees, he shall direct that the proceedings be not taken and shall amend the aided person's certificate so as to exclude such proceedings therefrom.
The power conferred on the Director by this paragraph may be exercised without an application being made by an aided person.

Obligations of counsel and a solicitor
