I have known a few working friends who have needed to use the legal aid system ,and all were not in a position to pay privately. At the end of their cases they still had to pay a percentage back.

We must not let this happen.

That some sectors, mostly those in greatest need, should be left without this 'right' is a major step backwards in our democracy.
Of course there is need to improve efficiency in our legal system, just as there is in every other sector of our public service.
Severe cuts will result in a poorer service, resulting in the most talented legal professionals looking elsewhere to fulfil their ambition.
Don't do it!

We're a confident civilised mature democratic society and it our status as such that is being worn away each time we look reduce access to the legal system without a like or improved system of legal aid/assistance. We should be aspiring to incrementally increase access to the law rather than reduce it and mid-term economic problems are inadequate reasosn for reducing legal aid.

It seems obvious that this will create a system of haves and have nots when its comes to legal representation - this cannot be right or fair in the 21st Century. I strongly support the campaign to call on the government to stop and consider the impact of the changes which they are proposing.

If allowed to go ahead, the changes will mean that extremely vulnerable individuals who do not have the luxury of private funding will be unrepresented and therefore at risk of injustice at a time when they most need help and assistance. The proposals are extremely unfair and ill considered.

I believe the proposed reforms and court closures will remove access to Justice for many people. This is a very serious issue and many of the rights that have been gained by UK citizens in the UK are at risk if they cannot be enforced in courts and tribunals.
