Access to justice is back on the agenda, with the Supreme Court’s decision in July on employment tribunal fees and the government’s decision to review LASPO (the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012).
Writing in NLJ this week, David Greene, senior partner at Edwin Coe, says priorities for the review should include redress of the impact of LASPO on the poor and vulnerable, legal aid provision where children are involved, meaningful access in family cases, and reform of means testing and exceptional cases funding.
