News In Brief

The Legal Services Commission has published its consultation response on Civil Bid Rounds for 2010 Contracts, setting out the face-to-face civil legal aid services it intends to commission from 2010 when the existing Unified Contract (Civil) ends. It can be found on the Commission’s website at www.legalservices.gov.uk.
