Annex B: Time Taken to Deal With Application to Court for an Exclusion Order: Statistics From Scottish Legal Aid Board
The data below covers the last three years. The dates are from date of grant of legal aid to date of final account so the actual time in court is likely to be slightly less than shown.
The start date used is the earliest of
- when work began where special urgency cover was used which doesn't need the Board's prior approval;
- when the Board granted special urgency cover if the work was of a kind needing their prior approval;
- the date legal aid was fully granted where no special urgency work was involved
The first table shows 65 cases split between Pursuer & Defender with 50 pursuers and 15 defenders.
The second table shows the duration split between cases where full legal aid has been used and where only special urgency work was done.
The third table covers pursuers who had a full grant of legal aid
