On matters of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, we have other ... view

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The amendments by the Committee are minimal to the extent of requiring that the applications for legal aid be made in writing and to allow other persons who, sometimes, may not be affected to apply for legal aid on behalf of the person who is unable to do so, either because of physical or mental incapacity.
