Can I get a free trial if I e.g. have legal aid insurance?

No, free trial cannot be granted in cases covered by insurance. Therefore, you must check whether you are covered by legal aid insurance or other insurance that covers expenses in connection with legal aid before you submit your application for free trial to the High Commissioner’s Office.

If you are covered by insurance that includes legal aid, but your insurance company refuses to cover the costs of the proceedings, you must remember to document the refusal and submit it together with the application for free trial.
