This article provides a brief overview of the system. For more information, please follow the link at the end of the article. Under the Green Form programme, up to two hours of legal advice and assistance from a Guernsey lawyer can be obtained free of charge or at a reduced cost. The Green Form program is only available through lawyers who are accredited to provide legal aid. It is available for criminal and civil matters, subject to certain restrictions. For example, it is not available for small debts and is generally not available for traffic matters. Any person arrested at the police station or appears voluntarily for questioning is entitled to free and independent legal advice from the duty lawyer. This support is not means-tested (i.e. it is accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation). The Guernsey Bar Association organises a rotation system for an available duty counsel. Full legal aid is not limited to two hours and is intended for more serious and/or complex cases.
The right to full legal aid is subject to both a means test and a “legal merit test”, which means that your lawyer must take into account that your case justifies the granting of legal aid. Even if you do not have to contribute to your legal fees, GLAS is entitled to reimbursement of all legal fees if you acquire or hold assets as a result. In addition to advising at the police station, the public defender will also be present in court to assist prosecuted persons (except for traffic offences) who are not legally represented. This support is free of charge and is not means-tested. For more information on legal aid in Guernsey, please visit the website of the Royal Court of Guernsey.
