Solicitor clause wording

- We have assessed your client as a person who does not receive financial help from another person and has no dependent children. The total combined contribution your client would be required to pay based on your client’s income and assets would be more than the value of the grant of legal assistance. Unless there is a change in your client’s circumstances, it is unlikely your client will be successful in having this decision overturned on review. Your client should make other arrangements for their representation.
