10% Cut to Legal Aid Fees Wil Hurt Clients

Earlier this month the fixed fees that pay for civil legal aid work were cut by 10%. The Law Centres Federation explains how this will affect local legal advice and Law Centres.

The Law Centres Federation has produced a short briefing on the impact of the cut to civil legal aid fees.

The briefing is primarily aimed at members of the House of Lords, where Lord Bach, Labour’s justice frontbencher in the Lords, will this evening present a motion to repeal the cut.
