Full text
4.13. On the recommendation of the director general of a regional centre, the administrative committee of the Commission may grant legal aid to a person who cannot be the recipient of legal aid according to the other provisions of this subdivision and the regulations, if he considers that it is warranted by exceptional circumstances and that refusing to grant to the person legal aid would cause him irreparable harm. However, the administrative committee of the Commission may not grant legal aid under this section for services in respect of which it is provided in section 4.8 or 4.12 or in the regulations that no legal aid may be granted.
The provisions of the first paragraph may apply, subject to the conditions fixed therein, to allow an applicant to establish his rights in a proceeding leading up to an administrative decision.
The decision of the administrative committee of the Commission is not subject to review by the committee formed under paragraph k of section 22.
