Whether or not you qualify for legal aid depends on the type of case.
It is available on a case-to-case basis
but it is often available to defend
possession proceedings.
So your Shelter adviser will be able to talk
you through it
and advise you on whether or not you
qualify for legal aid.
The rules are very complicated and it
does depend on the type of case
on the merits of the case and also on
your income.
