Advocacy assistance is available for proceedings in the Crown Court, where an appeal is
made under section 4 of the CDA. The merits test is slightly different from that on
application for an interim or a full ASBO.
It is based only on the general reasonableness test. Advocacy assistance may not be granted if
it appears unreasonable that approval should be granted in the particular circumstances of the
case. The prospects and merits of an appeal should be taken into account as well as whether
the individual has reasonable grounds for taking the proceedings. Representation is also
available for an appeal against an order under section 4 of the CDA. An application should be
made to the Legal Services Commission which will consider grant against the availability of
advocacy assistance.
Any challenge against the ruling of the Crown Court to the High Court by way of case stated
or by application for judicial review falls outside the scope of criminal funding. Legal
representation would have to be applied for in accordance with the Funding Code procedures
to the Legal Services Commission. This work is funded through the Community Legal
Service although it falls within the scope of the General Criminal Contract.
Advocacy assistance is available for a breach of an interim order or full ASBO.
Representation is also available for breach proceedings on application to the Commission as
above.
