5 Part 8 Declaration To: The Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance I hereby apply for Legal Assistance under the NIPSA Legal Assistance (Personal Injury) Scheme (hereafter called The Scheme ) to pursue a claim for damages in respect of the accident or incident of which particulars are set out in this form. I authorise NIPSA to handle this claim on my behalf, and in particular to instruct Solicitors to act for me. I declare that I have not already instructed Solicitors in this matter nor issued proceedings, and I undertake that I will not, except with the consent of NIPSA, settle any action or proceedings or enter into any negotiations in connection with the claim (whether with my employers, their Insurance Company, or any other person). I have read and agree to abide by the Regulations of the Scheme as set out in the Regulations Governing the Grant of Legal Assistance (Personal Injury) and I understand that I must refund to NIPSA, out of any damages obtained, such expenses as may have been incurred on my behalf by NIPSA or its Solicitors, insofar as these are not recovered from any third party, and I authorise NlPSA s Solicitors to deduct same from any sums which they may recover. I also understand, subject to the scheme regulations and the NIPSA Rule Book that I must refund to NIPSA such expenses as may have been incurred on my behalf by NIPSA or its Solicitors if (i) the Solicitors advise NIPSA that I have a prima facie case but I do not wish to proceed with the case, (ii) if at any stage I am advised by the Solicitors or Counsel engaged by NIPSA on my behalf that the case should be settled and I unreasonably refuse to accept the legal advice given to me or (iii) if at any stage I retain the services of another solicitor whilst the NIPSA Solicitor has been instructed. (iv) if I fail to fully comply with the scheme regulations. Further, I accept that NIPSA has the right to either revoke or withdraw Legal Assistance at any stage.
