I have a second question. Say an environmental NGO is taking a case, for example, and the State is on the other side. The State is able to apportion whatever resources it wants to defend its side of the case. The State then, through this scheme, is able to dictate the resources available to the other applicant in the procedure. Is there not an imbalance here that the State can put as much resources in as it wants but the applicant under the scheme will not have the same access to resources? Does that not create an inequitable access to justice?
