Part 3: Criminal legal aid for legal persons

When the requirements of regulation 34(2) are met the Director must make a determination in accordance with section 21 of the Act that a legal person's financial resources are such that the legal person is eligible for legal aid under paragraph 4 or 5 of Schedule 3 to the Act.

A determination made under section 21—

must specify any limitations and conditions to which the determination is subject; and
may specify the duration of the determination by reference to the stages of the case set out in a document provided under regulation 34(2)(b).

In circumstances in which the determination includes a time limit in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b), this does not prevent a legal person making a further application for a determination in accordance with regulation 36 in relation to any subsequent stage of the case.

Where the Director receives a notification in accordance with regulation 6, the Director must determine whether the legal person's financial resources are such that the legal person remains eligible for criminal legal aid in accordance with regulation 34.
