Multiple additions of lawyer: what you need to know


Questioner

Dear Sir/Madam, Can you have multiple, simultaneously pending cases handled by your lawyer with an addition, or do you have to pay your own contribution per case? MVG

Lawyer

A lawyer must apply for a new addition for each case. You must therefore pay a personal contribution for each individual case. An exception to this is a divorce case. A procedure for making provisional provisions falls under the same addition as that of the divorce procedure itself.

Lawyer

In addition to the, by the way, correct, answer given by Ms Doreleijers, I would like to point out that if multiple legal aid applications are submitted for you within a period of six months, you only have to pay half of the personal contribution for the second and subsequent legal aid applications, due to the anti-cumulation clause.
