Legal Aid Act Article 20
If the underlying event for applying legal aid is exigent, the Chapter may still make a preliminary decision to approve the application for legal aid even though the applicant fails to meet the requirements in applying legal aid.After making the preliminary decision to approve the application for legal aid, if the Chapter considers the applicant fails to meet the requirements in applying for legal aid, the Chapter shall revoke decision.When the Chapter revokes the approval in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, opportunities for stating opinions should be given to the legal aid recipient.When the Chapter revokes the approval, according to the provisions of paragraph 2, the Chapter shall notify the legal aid recipient of such in writing and ask the return of the remuneration provided to him or her, and other fees incurred by legal aid, within a certain time frame. However the provisions shall not apply, if the legal aid recipient is not responsible for the cause of revocation.
