ABSTRACT
The survey of our own and foreign systems has shown that four things have commonly been considered necessary to enable a poor person to conduct legal proceedings—exemption from court fees, exemption from giving security for costs, representation, and assistance with out-of-pocket expenses. Apart from the last the Poor Persons' Procedure covers all these points but this procedure applies only to the High Court and Court of Appeal, while there are different provisions for the House of Lords and for criminal cases.
