5th June - Law News

1257th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is to find an extra £249m of “savings” this year as part of government measures to reduce public debt, the Chancellor, George Osborne, revealed today. But the MoJ has insisted this will not affect legal aid or access to justice. This latest announcement takes the budget cut at the MoJ this year to nearly £1bn. The MoJ was already committed to reducing its budget from £7.1bn in 2014/15 to £6.4bn in 2015/16, under plans released by Mr Osborne in March’s Budget. This was a greater cut than had previously been expected. Full story - Legal Futures

1256th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Legal Aid Agency expects to claw back up to £2m a year in legal aid after new powers to recover unpaid costs from convicted offenders came into force today. Changes to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 will allow the agency to recover costs from convicted criminals where their money and assets have been frozen, the Ministry of Justice announced. Previously legal aid was recoverable only through a separate and, according to the MoJ, ‘often unsuccessful’ court battle after the criminal trial had finished. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
