Rejected petition continue legal aid
More details
As from the 31st march 2013 legal aid will no longer be available to people who need it. So whether you need legal help for family issues or criminal defence you will be liable to pay for all legal costs.
It is completely unfair to the people that work for minimum wage and could not afford such expensive costs when legal help is really needed.
