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.
