- Motion text
Congress notes:
1. That the UCU will not disclose legal advice to members they receive when
deciding to support or reject a legal support application.
2. The Legal Scheme Regulations do not set out an expectation for the UCU to
give members an explanation within a reasonable to timeframe of why a
request for legal support was supported or rejected.
Congress resolves to ask NEC to explore:
a. How UCU will give a detailed explanation to all members who have their
application for legal support rejected to include the disclosure of any legal
advice received by the UCU, unless disclosure of such legal advice would be
unlawful.
b. How the disclosure of the information in regard to why an application for
legal support was rejected shall be done swiftly in no more than 10 working
days.
