[2] I was informed that the respondent did not have a legal aid certificate, but that specially urgent work had been carried out on her behalf in terms the Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) Regulations 2002, reg.18. It was not made clear if the work fell within the circumstances described in reg.18(1)(a), or whether reg.18(1)(b) applied; but clarification of that matter is not in fact necessary for, or material to, the determination of the motion.
SLAB [4] By email dated 20 June 2013 the solicitor to SLAB wrote to the clerk of court in the following terms:
"So far as your query is concerned the relevant guidance can be found in the Civil Legal Assistance Handbook, Part IV, Chapter 6:12 ( sic )which states:
There is no grant of civil legal aid in place at the present time, and so the applicant is not an assisted person for modification purposes."
[5] On 3 July 2013 the respondent's application for civil legal aid was refused by SLAB. On 5 July 2013 I received written submissions prepared by counsel for the petitioner and written submissions prepared by counsel for the respondent.
