How Legal Aid may enforce a condition of an approval
19 How Legal Aid may enforce a condition of an approval
Legal Aid may, in a court of competent jurisdiction—
enforce a condition imposed under section 17 against a legally assisted person by action as if it were a condition of a contract entered into with the legally assisted person; or
enforce a charge or security given under a condition imposed under section 17 in a way that would be available to Legal Aid if the charge or security had been given as a condition of a contract entered into with the legally assisted person.
Without limiting subsection (1), if a contribution is payable by a legally assisted person to a Legal Aid service provider under a condition of approval for legal assistance, the service provider, with Legal Aid’s written approval, may start a proceeding in the service provider’s name to recover the contribution.
