Legal Aid Review Panel are comprised of one member, but where an appeal raises a complex question of law or policy, the Panel will include at least two members. The Panel stands in the shoes of the original decision-maker, possessing the same functions and discretions. Most appeals must be determined within 14 days, though urgent matters may require a quicker resolution. Appeals are dealt with on the papers, with no in-person hearings, and must comply with approved Legal Aid NSW policies and guidelines.
