Solicitor clause wording
Where an application for legal aid has property restrained due to current proceedings under the Criminal Proceeds Confiscation Act 2002, aid can only be granted if your client provides a signed charge over their property to Legal Aid Queensland to secure a refund of all costs and outlays expended in the matter and related criminal proceedings. As your client is not prepared to sign a charge over their property, aid is refused.
