Changes of solicitor
17.—(1) Where the solicitor nominated by an assisted person determines that he should cease to act for him, the solicitor shall notify the Board and, where possible, the assisted person accordingly, and shall supply to the Board a statement of his reasons for ceasing to act.
(2) Where an assisted person has required the solicitor nominated by him to cease to act for him, the solicitor shall notify the Board accordingly and shall supply the Board with a statement of the circumstances, so far as they are known to him, in which he was required to cease to act.
(3) Where an assisted person desires that a solicitor other than the solicitor presently nominated by him shall act for him, he shall apply to the Board for authority to nominate another specified solicitor to act for him, and shall inform the Board of the reason for his application; and the Board, if it is satisfied that there is good reason for the application and, in the case of legal aid made available under section 24 or section 25 of the Act, that it is in the interests of justice or, as the case may be, is reasonable, for him to receive or continue to receive criminal legal aid, may grant the application.
