Lady Hale, justice of the Supreme Court, has spoken out against the proposed legal aid cuts
Delivering the Sir Henry Hodge Memorial Lecture at the Law Society this week, she said the reforms would have a “disproportionate impact upon the poorest and most vulnerable in society”. Comparing the cost of resolving disputes in common law jurisdictions with those of civil law jurisdictions, she said the total amount spent on lawyers and courts had to be considered when identifying legal
aid spend.
