LEGAL SERVICES, ENGLAND AND WALES
Section 194 of the Legal Services Act 2007 (‘the Act’) applies to proceedings in a civil court in which a party to those proceedings is or was represented by a legal representative and that legal representation is or was provided free of charge. Under section 194(3) of the Act, the court may order any person to make a payment to the prescribed charity in respect of that legal representation. Under section 194(8) of the Act the ‘prescribed charity’ means the charity prescribed by order made by the Lord Chancellor but section 194(9) provides that an order may only prescribe a charity which (a) is registered in accordance with section 3A of the Charities Act 1993 and (b) provides financial support to persons who provide, or organise or facilitate the provision of, legal advice or assistance (by way of representation or otherwise) which is free of charge.
