Mental Health Funding

As a rule Legal Aid funding is available in most cases.

Non-means tested, automatic, Legal Aid is available for all applications for a Tribunal, and for Deprivation of Liberty challenges in the Court of Protection.

Some Legal Aid is means tested such as such as treatment/transfer/care meetings/managers appeals, Judicial Review and welfare applications in the Court of Protection etc.

We will discuss funding and fees with you from the start, before you incur any cost.

If Legal Aid is available for your case we will apply without charge to the Legal Aid Agency seeking funding.

If Legal Aid is not available for your case we can offer fixed fees and pay as you go instalments and "No Win No Fee" in suitable cases.

We will always give a clear written indication of our fees and the money we expect to pay out on your behalf during the case at the start and from time to time during the proceedings so you always know so far as is possible the costs you have agreed to incur.
