This chapter discusses granting of legal aid. Persons to whom legal aid is granted are liable to make such contribution as the court may order in respect of the costs incurred on their behalf as appears to the court to be reasonable in regard to their resources and commitments, and sometimes they may be liable for the whole cost.

For those granted legal aid, the number receiving aid for solicitor, solicitor and one (or two) counsel, or counsel only is given in relation to type of proceedings.
