If you wish to appeal against a merits decision made by the Legal Aid
Agency, on an application or amendment, you will be required to submit a Legal Appeal Review Request via CCMS.
NOTE: All Legal Appeals must be submitted via a Case Enquiry, even if the appeal is of an urgent matter. Document Requests will not be considered without the necessary supporting Case Enquiry.
This guidance demonstrates the step-by-step process on how to submit a Legal Appeal Review Request.
From the homepage select Cases & Applications and search for the
case you wish to amend.
Select the appropriate case from the search results by clicking the LAA
Application / Case Reference number.
From the list of Available Actions select Submit Case Query.

On the Request Details page select reason for the ‘Appeal Type’ from the drop-down menu. Then complete each section marked with the *.
Enter a detailed reason as to why you’re appealing in the ‘Justification for appeal’ section. Once you have completed each section click ‘Submit’ which will then
send your appeal to the LAA for review.
