A woman was granted permission by the High Court to challenge a legal aid refusal, reported on 12 January 2021.

She claims the Legal Aid Board counted her Housing Assistance Payment as income, putting her above the financial threshold. The judicial review seeks to quash the refusal and have her application reconsidered; the case was due back before the court in March.
