Law Society Council Heeds Members’ Call for Continued Opposition to Criminal Legal Aid Cuts
The Law Society Council has reaffirmed its vow to continue opposing cuts that will risk the livelihoods of criminal solicitors and jeopardise the quality of criminal defence in England and Wales.
Law Society president Nicholas Fluck addressed a meeting of the Law Society Council following the passing of a motion of no confidence over the Society’s strategy of engagement with the Lord Chancellor to influence the government’s criminal legal aid proposals.
‘The Society lost the vote by the margin of 228 to 213. We have listened closely to our criminal legal aid members and are clear that we mustn’t waste a single day, between now and when the Lord Chancellor makes his final decision. We must press him for more changes for the sake of access to justice, our members and the clients who depend on them.
