The government’s Legal Support for Litigants in Person Grant programme (LSLIP) is currently funding 11 projects for unrepresented litigants, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has confirmed
The two-year grant programme, launched in April 2020, aims to fund early intervention services for litigants in person in England and Wales. The MoJ’s mid-grant report for the programme, published last month, concluded grantees had quickly started helping litigants in person, appeared to be reaching a cohort of users similar to Citizens Advice clients, and were improving client outcomes.
Most advice provided was initial generalist advice. The local and regional grants, which started three months later, helped grantees advise 7,700 clients with 8,300 legal issues between October 2020 and June 2021.
