Legal Aid, Sentencing And Punishment Of Offenders Bill - The Legal Responses The Law Society

摘要

"The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill is the single biggest attack on access to justice since the legal aid system was introduced" the Law Society has said. "Legal aid for private family law cases, clinical negligence, and employment has been taken entirely out of scope. According to the government's own impact assessment, these cuts risk increasing crime, weakening social cohesion and access to civil rights, and costing tax payers even more."
