The Court held that Regulation 21(1)(b) legitimately abrogates LPP by necessary implication for communications concerning financial eligibility to prevent abuse of legal aid and that this abrogation extends to communications made prior to grant of legal aid because imposing a temporal limit would defeat the regulation's purpose; the applicant's challenge was not reasonably arguable and so leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was refused.
