No, you asked how Chid didn’t use a duty solicitor but got free solicitors at his trial. Weve tried to explain to you that a duty solicitor at a police station is completely different to getting Legal Aid at a trial. It’s you who keeps moving the goalposts instead of just admitting you didn’t know the difference. Cheers,

I don’t believe you are this stupid, mate, you must be on a wind up ! Cheers.
-
I don’t care !!!!!!! You refuse to see the difference between a duty solicitor at a police station and a Legal Aid solicitor at a court case. Cheers.
-
But that’s not what you said at the beginning of this ; you were confused between a free, duty solicitor at a police station and Legal Aid solicitor at a court case….. two completely different things. Cheers.
-
There’s always a duty solicitor, even if they are just “on call” . Stop digging mate……. Cheers.
-
None of which has anything to do with Legal Aid ! LOL ! Cheers.

My younger brother was arrested as a minor, about 14. We didn’t have ‘phones back then, a policeman came to the door and said someone over 21 had to sit in with my brother. My dad was away at the time so I pretended to be my older brother and offered to go. The policeman was in a car but refused to take me, I had to make my own way there. After he had been charged they said take him home. I said where are his shoes and socks, they said they were keeping them as evidence. I asked for a lift home, no way, and no money for a taxi so he had to walk home, barefoot in the rain.

Everyone’s ALLWAYS been entitled to a duty solicitor, but fifty years ago there wasn’t cctv and video recordings in rural police houses ! And they weren’t allways honest with you ! LOL ! You should have had an adult present when you were arrested at eight year old. Cheers.
-
Fixed that for you mate Cheers.

My brother and I were charged with GBH and Trespass in pursuit of game or coney, over 50 years ago. He qualified for means tested legal aid , I didn’t. The solicitor was a pal of our dads and advised us that he would represent my brother on legal aid and me pro bono as we were being tried together. We were found not guilty of all charges. We were never offered or asked for a duty solicitor when charged and interviewed at the police station, Cheers.

Let’s go back to before you realised you were wrong and started moving the goalposts. Chid said he never had a duty solicitor at the police station but was at court twice and never paid for a solicitor who represented him. You said how’s that. Franks Dad said legal aid. You didn’t understand the difference between duty solicitor and legal aid. when it was explained to you, you won’t accept it and started moving the talking about “duty free solicitors” ! Your digging a deeper and deeper hole instead of just saying “ah, ok, I get it now “ LOL ! Cheers.

You don’t pay for a Duty solicitor, no one does, it’s your right. You can bring in your own , paid , solicitor if you want and think they would do a better job than the duty solicitor. Legal aid is means tested. If you can afford a solicitor you can’t get legal aid. If you cant afford a solicitor, you can get legal aid. Why you are conflating duty solicitor with legal aid, two different things , is beyond me ! Cheers.
-
Wrong again! Duty Solicitor at a police station isn’t the same thing as legal aid ! It could happen that one person , like Gnash , pays for a solicitor because he doesn’t get legal aid, whereas someone who can’t afford a solicitor could get the same solicitor on legal aid. I dint see why it’s so difficult, it’s your right to ask for a DUTY SOLICITOR at a police station, but it’s not everyone’s right to get a LEGAL AID solicitor if you can afford to pay for one. This is just going round in circles. Duty Solicitor and Legal Aid to fight your case are two different things
-
It’s what’s known as “the cab rank rule”, you get the next available one. It would depend on on where you are, what the case is, etc. Cheers.
-
Your moving the goal posts again ! Whats a “duty free solicitor” ? A duty solicitor is what your provided with at a police station if you ask for one. Legal aid is what you get to fight your case at court. Franks Dad replied to you “legal aid”. You said “ he didn’t have a duty solicitor “ They are two completely different things. Just take it that you didn’t know the difference, it’ll save a lot of time ! LOL ! Cheers.

If I was involved in a car accident and weaned to sue the other party and it went to court for a judge to decide, I could apply for legal aid for a solicitor if I didn’t have the money to pay for one. No arrest, no custody, no police involvement, no duty solicitor. Two different things mate. Cheers.
-
Your getting mixed up between duty solicitor and legal aid, mate. Anyone arrested and in custody can ask for the duty solicitor. Legal aid is for anyone who needs a solicitor but doesn’t have the means to pay for one. You don’t have to be arrested or in custody to get legal aid. If I had a dispute that needed to be settled in court and I didn’t have the money for a solicitor but, I could apply for legal aid . As I said, have a look at Gov.UK Legal Aid. It’s nothing to do with the duty solicitor at a police station. Cheers.
-
Anyone can get legal aid mate , if you don’t have the means to pay for a solicitor. It doesn’t have to be a duty solicitor. Look on Gov.UK Legal Aid. Cheers.
-
It doesn’t need to be a duty solicitor for legal aid. These illegal immigrants appealing deportation use legal aid for their human rights solicitors. Cheers.
