MISS M BARLOW appeared on behalf of the Applicant. MR B DAVIES appeared on behalf of the Respondent. ____________________
For it to be even suggested that a 17-year old facing orders of the nature that arise in this case should not have legal representation is something that I find extremely difficult to understand, and cannot imagine as having any justifiable basis. I strongly recommend the Legal Services Commission look at its processes and consider the lack of wisdom in any suggestion that a young person of this age should not have proper and funded legal representation. As it is, however, Mr Davies has appeared and has argued C's case thoroughly and well. Therefore, C does have legal representation.
