Question: Can the solicitor provide appointed solicitor ABWOR. If so, when should it be effective from: the date of the first calling, the date the applicant was fit to appear or does it matter?

Answer:  Yes. Appointed solicitor ABWOR is OK.  The effective date should be the date of the grant, providing that is registered within 14 days.
