The Legal Aid Board will grant you a certificate for legal aid if in the Board's opinion:

you have passed the merits test and the means test set
you have as a matter of law reasonable grounds for instituting, defending or being a party to the proceedings for which legal aid is sought
you are reasonably likely to be successful in the proceedings
the proceedings for which legal aid is sought are the most satisfactory means of achieving the result sought by you
having regard to all the circumstances (including the probable cost to the Board, measured against the likely benefit to you), it is reasonable to grant the application.
your case does not fall within the excluded areas.
If the proceedings concern the welfare of a child including custody or access, factors 3 and 5 will not apply.
