reasonably require.

PART 8 - LEGAL ASSISTANCE

8.1

Any member shall be eligible, at the discretion of the GGCA Executive

Committee, to receive appropriate legal assistance from the Union in matters

arising from his/her employment. The decision as to whether legal assistance

is appropriate and, if so, what assistance is to be provided is a matter for the

sole interpretation of the GGCA Executive Committee or the GGCA National

Secretary acting on the GGCA Executive Committee’s behalf. Legal

assistance is offered at the discretion of the GGCA Executive Committee and

will be decided on an individual basis dependent on the facts of the case.

8.2

Every grant of legal assistance shall be on the understanding that the GGCA

Executive Committee may withdraw its support if the member fails to pay

subscriptions as required by Rule 2.13, does not follow the advice of the

appointed solicitors or if in its view the continued provision of support would

be unreasonable. The GGCA Executive Committee shall indemnify the

member against any liabilities incurred on the GGCA Executive Committee’s

authority up to the date of withdrawal of support, but shall not be liable for any

costs incurred without its authority or consent.
