procedure where a statement of resources by the legally aided party is filed

Costs orders against legally aided parties and/or the Lord Chancellor: Further procedure where a statement of resources by the legally aided party is filed or is not required

When the legally aided party files a statement of resources the court will fix a hearing date and give the relevant parties at least 14 days’ notice. If the application is made only against the Lord Chancellor, the court may fix a hearing date at the time of issue of the request.

The request which proceeds to a hearing to determine liability of the legally aided party will, in the first instance, be listed as a hearing to be held in private. At the start of the hearing or during it any party may request the court to rule that thereafter the hearing should be conducted in public.
