Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 73
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Requirements that demand a high level of evidentiary proof before civil claims can be instituted can have a disproportionate impact on the poor, who are hampered by their lack of financial resources, time and understanding of the law and of legal processes. Collating evidence, obtaining expert opinions and preparing forms in the correct language can be an almost impossible process without the assistance of a competent legal representative.
