Bar Council Replies to Carter Review
on Legal Aid Procurement
Bar Council Press Release
13 October 2006
The Bar Council submitted its response to the consultation paper
on the future of legal aid yesterday, welcoming many of the
changes, but not all. Of Family law they say:
"We also wonder whether, as drafted, these schemes will (to borrow
from paragraph 143 of the Report) provide the necessary incentive
to practitioners to take on work and reward efficiency. If not,
there is a real likelihood that the work will become the staple
diet of the less experienced and the less able."
