Abstract
Joint enterprise in the wake of the Jogee verdict
Highlights
>>> In November, the Bach Commission on Access to Justice, chaired by Labour peer Lord Bach and instituted at the behest of Jeremy Corbyn, published its interim report on ‘the crisis in the justice system in England & Wales’
LASPO: it contends that the solution to the entrenched problems it accurately identifies ‘cannot be to reverse the LASPO cuts in their entirety and expand the legal aid budget indefinitely’
This appears to be something of a straw man: I am not aware that anyone has argued that the legal aid budget should be expanded indefinitely, and prior to LASPO it had effectively been capped at around £2.1bn per annum since 2000/01
Summary
>>> In November, the Bach Commission on Access to Justice, chaired by Labour peer Lord Bach and instituted at the behest of Jeremy Corbyn, published its interim report on ‘the crisis in the justice system in England & Wales’. We know that the human cost of the cuts is often hidden from public view, because it lies in the people turned away by law centres and legal aid firms because they are ineligible for publicly funded advice or because their legal problem is outside the scope of LASPO. We know that this means unlawful conduct by public authorities goes unpunished and miscarriages of justice go unseen.
