Your appointment to act as a duty solicitor ends when one of the following events occur:
If the child instructs you to act at a future hearing, for example at:
Then you will become their solicitor of choice and you will need to apply for ABWOR to attend these hearings.
Where a child wants you to be their solicitor of choice for future hearings after you have provided them with automatic legal aid as a duty solicitor you should let the Reporter know so they can contact you directly as the child’s solicitor rather than asking us to appoint a duty solicitor. If you are instructed to act as a solicitor of choice you can provide ABWOR (without having to apply any financial or merits tests). Simply ensure that you select the correct specified hearing type in the ABWOR (and non- automatic) online application. This avoids financial and “Effective Participation” questions and your application will be processed quickly.
