I am raising money for a friend who has been turned down for legal aid.
Zoë has lived in her shared ownership flat for 11 years. She initially bought a share in it with a former partner. The relationship broke down due to his extreme violence towards her and he moved out, leaving her to pay the rent on the remaining share for 6 years.
Her former partner is now trying to lay claim to the original share, which is unaffordable for Zoë and would leave her homeless. Legally she is in a strong position, however she is unable to pay for solicitors to fight her case, and she has been turned down for legal aid due to the amount of work involved.
This situation has had a huge impact on Zoë's health, and being able to put the matter to rest would make a massive difference.
