Yes you can. You can ask the Tribunal for permission to be represented by a lawyer or someone else. The Tribunal usually gives permission for lawyers to act as representatives.
If you want someone other than a lawyer to represent you, that person will need to ask the Tribunal for permission to represent you. They will also need to comply with Practice Direction 9.
If you do want someone to represent you, the earlier you organise this, the easier it will be for your representative to prepare your case.
The Where to go for help section gives you the names of organisations you may want to contact to see if they can assist you.
