Legal fees for Hadley's wrongful-eviction defense in Winnipeg
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Hadley can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 Manitoba, Canada801 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,350. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at the Winnipeg Community Legal Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,150
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $85
• Certified translations and document copies: $115
Thanks for reading all this.
