The effect of revocation of a party’s emergency civil legal aid certificate was that he was to be deemed never to have been an assisted person. Accordingly where two costs orders had been made in interlocutory proceedings, and the defendant had been protected from an order for costs because of the legal aid certificate, it was open to a judge to revisit those costs orders after revocation and to consider substituting orders which could not have been made when he was legally aided. The provisions in this case survived some of the repeals under the new legislation.
