Article 32: Reimbursement in case of false or untrue information
The applicant that has benefited secondary legal aid and/or exemption from court fees and court expenses by presenting false or untrue data, is obliged to reimburse the costs for the advocate delivering secondary legal aid services and/or the court costs. Independent from the reimbursement of these expenses, the Directorate for Free-of-Charge Legal Aid shall make a criminal report, when concluding that there are elements of a criminal act.
In case the request for secondary legal aid and/or exemption from court fees and court costs containing false or untrue information has been submitted by a person other than the person to whom secondary legal aid and/or exemption from court fees and court costs has been granted, the applicant and beneficiary of secondary legal aid and/or exemption from court fees and court costs, are solitarily liable to reimburse the costs defined in paragraph 1 of this Article.
The reimbursement of expenses, under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, shall be made according to the request of the Directorate for Free-of-Charge Legal Aid. In case of lack of voluntary execution, the Directorate for Free-of-Charge Legal Aid, shall file a statement of claim at the court to request the reimbursement of the sum in accordance with the legislation in force.
