Commentary on Sections Part 19 – Legal Aid and Advice Section 28H – Board to establish review procedures
293.Section 28H(1) places a duty on SLAB to establish a procedure for reviewing their refusal of an application for children’s legal aid. Subsection (2) obliges SLAB to establish a procedure for reviewing any conditions which it imposes in relation to a grant of children’s legal aid under section 28G. Like section 28G, section 28H replicates the effect of provisions which were to be inserted into section 29 of the 1986 Act by virtue of section 72 of the Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007.
