A 2010/2011 directive from Legal Aid Manitoba's Management Council restricted the number of appeals to those with merit and likelihood of success. In previous years, certain matters were automatically approved for appeal.
Note(s):
Appeal refers to an appeal of a lower court or administrative tribunal decision, not an appeal of a refused application. Each dossier is counted in spite of the fact that the matter may have been dealt with by the legal aid plan in the past. For more details on legal aid concepts and terminology please refer to the glossary.
