Commercial or Investment Transactions - State law matters Legal aid is not available for disputes arising from commercial or investment transactions. Where proceedings are taken by or for the benefit of applicants at a special disadvantage and where there are exceptional circumstances; and the applicant would suffer undue hardship if legal aid were refused this exclusion does not apply. Exceptional circumstances shall be considered to exist where proceedings are being taken against a solicitor alleging professional negligence arising in the course of a commercial or investment transaction. In those circumstances a grant of legal aid is subject to Means Test A, Merit Test A, and general civil guidelines.
