Legal Aid

EDM number 444 in 2002-03, proposed by Marsha Singh on 19/12/2002.

That this House is concerned that the operation of legal aid can produce injustice notably where one litigant gets assistance and the other does not or where legal aid is obtained fraudulently; and calls for a mechanism by which judgements can be set aside where abuse of the legal aid system is made evident.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
