Time limits
Potential clients should note that many legal matters have strict time limitations attached. This means that the time that a potential applicant has to seek advice or to start a court application or other process is limited, in some cases to as little as 12 months. If you have a legal matter – you should get advice as soon as possible.

PCLS does not provide advice and assistance in relation to criminal matters. For criminal matters, please contact Legal Aid 1300 650 579.
