Limitations
The advice that it provides is based on it’s experience and that of it’s Authorised Officers however does not constitute legal advice unless done so by an Authorised Legal Practitioner. As such all advice provided is at the Members choice and Members are advised to seek any counsel they see fit in addition to that provided by VICSU.
Where VICSU seeks legal advice it will inform the Member of any known risks prior to the taking of procedural actions. VICSU may opt to provide financial support towards a member’s case which may include partial or full financial support from the union.
VICSU reserves its rights and the rights of its members to ensure any legal matter will be managed appropriately before such assistance is provided. This may be done by seeking advice or after doing so, advising the Member which counsel or avenue it believes might be in the members best interest.
