Eligibility for civil legal aid does not extend to corporate bodies

Court of Appeal affirms the High Court's decision that legislation does not permit the provision of legal aid to corporate entities, on the grounds that the relevant statute's language, structure and context of its provisions clearly indicate an intention to provide civil legal aid exclusively to natural persons; and the applicant's argument based on the Aarhus Convention did not demonstrate that the proceedings were "prohibitively expensive," and thus did not necessitate a different interpretation of the statute.
