 Can Pay Should Pay - Criminal Legal Aid Reforms

DCA Press Release
30 March 2006 
The new Act paves the way for the introduction of a new means
testing scheme under which high earners will no longer receive
free criminal legal aid representation.  The new scheme will be
implemented in the Magistrates' Courts from 2 October 2006, and is
likely to be rolled out across Crown Courts by the end of 2007.
