Discretion forms

In some cases, where exceptional circumstances can be demonstrated, a discretionary increase in payment of an account may be granted where an account has exceeded the tariff maximum for the certificate. If your account exceeds the tariff maximum, and you want to apply for discretion, attach the appropriate form when submitting the account:

• Request for Discretion – Criminal Law
• Request for Discretion – Family Law: Child and Family Services Act (CFSA)
• Request for Discretion – Family Law: Support, Access, Custody
• Request for Discretion – Refugee Law
• Request for Discretion – General: Use the general form for other case types
• Request for Review
  If you are dissatisfied with the settlement of your account, use this form to request a review. Requests for review should be made within 60 days of payment of the account.

For more information on the use of these forms please refer to our Discretion Guidelines.
