Part 8: Exceptional Cases

The individual may, in accordance with paragraph (2), apply for a review of—

a refusal to make a determination under section 10(2)(a) or 10(4)(b) of the Act;
a determination that an individual does not qualify for the services under section 10(2)(b) or 10(4)(c) of the Act;
an amendment of, or refusal to amend, a limitation or condition to which a determination under section 10(2)(b) or 10(4)(c) of the Act is subject; or
a withdrawal of a determination.

Within fourteen days of receipt of a refusal, determination, amendment, or withdrawal described in paragraph (1) (a “decision”), the individual may—

apply to the Director for a review of the decision in a form specified by the Lord Chancellor; and
include written representations supporting that application.

The Director must consider the application and any written representations and may—

confirm or amend the decision which is the subject of the review; or
substitute a new decision.

Where the decision which is the subject of the review was the withdrawal of a determination and, following the review, the Director substitutes a determination for that withdrawal, the determination takes effect (unless the Director directs otherwise) as if the original decision had not been made.

The Director must ensure that a certificate accurately records the civil legal services for which the individual qualifies following the review (unless the services are to be provided as Controlled Work).

The Director must notify the individual and the provider or proposed provider identified in the individual's application of the decision following the review.
