It all depends on the level of the OCSI caseworker. Some are qualified to take extensive work, like appeal representation JR, whiles others are not.

Solicitors are qualified to attend court. It will all depend on your case and the complexities involved

Just to clarify - an OISC registered advisor cannot undertake JR work - only solicitors can do this.

I don't think that is correct.

A level 3 OISC caseworker may be competent enough to undertake JR work, such as initiating JR proceedings and instructing barrister counsel, but surely they cannot represent clients in these proceedings, as they will most likely not have the right of audience at these higher courts.
