Availability of other rights and facilities in summary proceedings

10.—(1) Where it appears to the Board that an applicant for criminal legal aid under section 24 of the Act has available to him rights and facilities making it unnecessary for him to obtain legal aid, or has a reasonable expectation of receiving financial or other help from a body of which he is a member, the Board shall not, unless it is satisfied that there is special reason for doing so, make legal aid available to him.

(2) The Board, before making criminal legal aid available under section 24 of the Act to a person who is a member of a body which might reasonably have been expected to give him financial help towards his defence, shall require him to undertake in writing that he will pay to the Board any sum received from that body on account of the expenses of his defence.
