Reverse cuts to legal aid

Petition Details

Access to an impartial, representative justice system is an inalienable democratic right.
Cuts to legal aid have threatened the ability of countless people to be represented in a court of law or tribunal. This needs to end.

Additional Information

Legal aid has allowed for people that cannot afford to pay for a solicitor for legal advice or to represent them in a court of law, to have a voice. This is what protects our justice system... the ability to have a fair trial being extended to everyone man and woman up and down the country, no matter their background or financial status.

Over £1bn in cuts to legal aid over the last 5 years has been a disaster. Call on the government to protect our democratic justice system
