“the flash - r patent portfolio is rich in technologies and teachings that are central to the functionality of many current consumer electronics products , ” said anton handal , counsel for e . digital corporation . “among these is the noise cancellation claims of the ‘108 patent , which , generally speaking , teach the use of two microphones in handheld devices to reduce background noise . we are also seeing the use of file editing functionalities in these products that are embodied in the ‘170 patent . in addition , we are seeing many flash - based devices utilizing a memory integrity technology that was patented by e . digital . determining memory integrity is very important technology in today’s highly - integrated consumer electronics . ”

legal aid commissions recoup as much of the expense of providing legal aid , as is possible , from the people who receive a service ( within the limit of what the person can afford to pay ) . the commission requires people who are granted legal aid to pay initial contributions towards their legal expense . the contribution is determined by reference to the applicant ' s means and the expected cost of the services the commission is to provide . the contribution is applicable whether the matter is conducted by an in - house lawyer or conducted by an external lawyer ( private practitioner ) . some people are required to make further or final payments if the legal expenses reach a certain level , or make full repayment of their legal costs . where the person ( or any person giving them financial support ) has real estate , the repayment is secured by the commission taking a statutory charge over the real estate of the person . the charge is exercised on the sale or disposal of the property by the owner . statutory charges are not imposed if legal costs incurred are less than $ 2 , 200 . the commission also recovers legal costs where there has been a court order awarding costs in litigation .
this is another cost / benefit analysis of legal aid expenditures . while the study makes clear it cannot quantify all the benefits of improved or expedited outcomes for family law litigants or their families ; nevertheless , based only on a cost / benefit analysis of the family justice system itself , the report concludes , in part :
direct legal assistance in relation to court and dispute resolution services for family law matters has a net positive efficiency benefit for the justice system . these benefits outweigh the costs of providing these services , ranging from a return of $ 1 . 60 to $ 2 . 25 for every dollar spent .
