Application for legal advice

(1) Any person eligible for legal advice under section 33 may, at any time, apply for legal advice to the district legal aid and legal advice committee in such form as may be prescribed. (2) The district legal aid and legal advice committee to which application is made under sub-section (1) shall, in the manner prescribed, endeavour to settle the dispute by bringing about reconciliation between the rival parties and if the reconciliatory efforts fail and failure is attributable to the non-co-operation of any one party to the dispute, the non-co-operating party even if otherwise eligible for legal aid, shall not be entitled to legal aid in any legal proceeding in connection with that dispute.
