EPO Duty Counsel Certificates are issued to Duty Counsel for Claimants and Respondents at the EPO review stage. There is no financial requirement for an EPO DC Certificate.
Please note that once the EPO is set for an Oral Hearing (EVV), the Duty Counsel Certificate is considered concluded.
From that point – a client must apply to Legal Aid Alberta and qualify financially before coverage for an EPO Oral Hearing.
