Legal Aid, Costs
When considering an order that a legally aided party should pay all or part of any costs, one of the circumstances, and a compelling circumstance, is the means of the party himself. Whatever one may think of the conduct of a party it would still not be right to make an order for costs against him which was unreasonable having regard to his means.

Diplock LJ
Legal Aid
The court considered whether it was appropriate to order a contribution to costs from a legally aided party. Held: Although the judge was correct that the wife should not have persisted in bringing a hopeless case against the husband, the 1949 Act also required him to consider the means of all the parties, and the order for £200 was more than was reasonable in the circumstances.
