LEGAL AID REGULATIONS - REGULATION 6C

Increase of contribution under certificate

Caution: This is a past version. See the current version here.

Where legal aid has been granted under section 5 of the Ordinance and the
Director has assessed the amount of the contribution payable at a sum less
than the maximum contribution permissible under the Legal Aid (Assessment 
of Resources and Contributions) Regulations ( Cap 91 sub. leg.), and it
appears that the costs incurred or likely to be incurred under the certificate
are or are likely to exceed the contribution so assessed, the Director shall
increase the amount of the contribution up to the amount or likely amount of
those costs or to such maximum contribution, whichever amount is the less.
(L.N. 326 of 1984)
