18.06.12 How do Legal Aid Cuts Affect Us All?The Government will give Legal Aid work to companies who bid the lowest price to obtain the contract. This means that Criminal Cases will be defended by divisions of companies like Eddie Stobart, the trucking company.There will also be a significant financial incentive for law firms to persuade clients to plead guilty, because contractors will be paid the same rate for each trial no matter how long. This is likely to increase Miscarriages of Justice cases. Also, Legal aid will no longer be available for the first stage of a Judicial Review, this means that government bodies acting unlawfully such as the Home Office, Social Services, Prisons or Police will frequently go unchallenged and this will seriously impede our Civil Rights.
