Statute overview

About this statute

Legal aid in an administrative court case does not cover earlier actions taken before an administrative authority or appeal board. If the court sends the case back, the appointment of a private counsel can also apply in that authority or board if the court decides so. If the legal aid recipient’s counterparty would have to reimburse litigation costs under the cited procedural rules, that counterparty must pay the state the related costs and the estimated fee for the public legal aid counsel, plus default interest. Courts must deal promptly with legal aid cases that are not decided together with the main case.
