Legal Aid
When considering the resources of a legally aided person against whom a costs order is to be made, the fact that a spouse's assets are included when calculating eligibility for legal aid does not mean that they should be included for this purpose also.

Legal Aid
An applicant for legal aid has a duty similar to someone applying for insurance, and must disclose all material facts. The board correctly revoked a certificate, leaving him responsible for all costs. This is an administrative, not a punitive act.

Obligations under contract between a solicitor and an expert witness to appear in a legally aided case were not limited by Legal Aid Regulations, and a solicitor agreeing to pay a witness's fees for attending as a witness was bound to pay them. The contract was not void for illegality, despite the statutory arrangements for payment for such attendances out of central funds.

Legal Aid, Costs
An application for payment of a successful party's costs out of the Legal Aid Fund should normally be made at the end of a trial, but it might well be made later when it proved impossible to recover costs against other parties to the action. In this case the delay did prevent it being just and equitable to make the order.

Legal Aid
The Act and Regulations prescribe different tests for when someone is deemed to cease to be legally assisted. The two are trying to do slightly different things, and the Regulations are not intended to over-rule the Act. The Act prevails, and the time is fixed not by the discharge of the certificate, nor by the date on the court record, but rather the date he actually started to act in person.

Legal Aid, Children, Local Government
The legal aid board could refuse to grant legal aid to children involved in proceedings to refuse contact to a parent, because the regulations which applied were sufficiently widely drawn to allow a discretion to the local authority to pay the costs. In such circumstances it was not unreasonable for legal aid to be refused.
