Part 2: Civil legal aid for legal persons — CHAPTER 2: Making a determination in respect of a legal person's financial resources

Where—

the Director has determined under regulation 11 that the legal person's financial resources are such that the legal person is eligible to receive civil legal services; and
it appears to the Director that the circumstances of the legal person may have changed so that—
its normal disposable income may have increased by an amount greater than £60 or decreased by an amount greater than £25;
its disposable capital may have increased by an amount greater than £750; or
the Director is no longer satisfied that the legal person is not able reasonably to obtain from any source sufficient means to fund the services in relation to which an application has been made,

the Director must, subject to paragraph (6), make a further determination in respect of the legal person's financial resources, and the contribution (if any) payable in accordance with these Regulations.

For the purposes of the further determination under paragraph (1), the period of calculation must be the period of one month following the date of the change of circumstances or such other period of one month as the Director considers appropriate.

Where a further determination is made, the amount or value of every resource of a capital nature acquired since the date of the original application must be ascertained as at the date of receipt of that resource.

Any contribution out of capital in accordance with regulation 29(3) which becomes payable as a result of a further determination must be paid in respect of the cost of the civil legal services, including costs already incurred.

Where a determination in relation to which a certificate was issued is withdrawn as a result of a further determination, the Director may require a contribution to be paid in respect of costs already incurred.

The Director may decide not to make a further determination under paragraph (1) if the Director considers such a further determination inappropriate, having regard in particular to the period during which civil legal services are likely to continue to be provided to the legal person.
