Guidance for opponents
Someone involved in a civil court case may apply
for legal aid and if you are also involved in the case, this could
affect you. If you are the opponent of someone who has applied for
civil legal aid, you have the right to object to an application
for, or grant of, civil legal aid.
A guide to civil legal aid (April 2008 edition)
Civil legal assistance helps people to get legal advice (“advice and assistance”) and the help of a solicitor to put their civil case in court (“civil legal aid”). This leaflet explains more about these types of assistance and helps you work out whether you are likely to qualify financially
for them. You can get this leaflet in the following
languages:

to pay towards your legal aid if you win or keep money or property
as a result of your case.
