Get Carter…

Thursday 6 September 2007 at 7:53 am | In News | Post Comment

The Legal Services Commission (LSC) announced today that the “Carter” reforms of legal aid will be put on hold.

The reason is, a court judgment (judicial review) held that contract changes that altered the “economic balance” of the contract were not lawful.

In the meantime a general criminal contract will apply.

Judgment will be appealed and so the “Carter” reforms are still on the horizon.
