      Glad that the mechanics of the state can bend and flex to those who are arriving and need help. Access to proper justice shouldn’t only be afforded to those who’ve got access to endless pots of money.

      This is a positive in a functioning and fair society 👏🏼

      “59% of those applications related specifically to family law cases such as divorce or child custody.”

      Put the pitchforks down.

      Click bait headline as over half the applications for aid were in relation to family law.

      Nothing is free. Taxpayers are paying these barristers and solicitors to slow roll these, dragging them out and grinding out invoice after invoice.

      I be more concerned about the amount of times a person with a load of convictions have been given free legal, it’s ridiculous to see a person with a load of convictions getting this again & again when after a certain amount of times they should be asked to contribute something whether all at once or in instalments because clearly they aren’t learning anything

      I’m sure nobody would begrudge the poorest in society some free legal support at a time when they’re most vulnerable and fleeing war and persecution in their home countries.

      Legal aid should only be free if the court rules in your favour. If you are not paying for it you are more likely to be involved in frivolous cases or draw out the court process to defer punishment as it won’t hurt you in the pocket.

      You should have to pay a bond or if you can’t afford it your sentence is automatically doubled if convicted when using free legal aid.

      We have plenty of our own lads with convictions in the hundreds getting free legal aid time and time again costing the tax payer a small fortune.

      I just learned that we took in more Nigerian asylum seekers last year than the total number of ALL asylum seekers Denmark took in. Lol we have by a country mile the highest number of them per capita in the EU.

      What a scam

      Legal system due to cost is largely inaccessible to most.

      Seems like a way to funnel tax payer funds to others.

      Comments sections a bit mad.

      Just so most people are aware a lot of the solicitors working these cases are not loaded nor do they ”drag things out”.

      The entire immigration system is broken and the vast majority of cases that end up in court are legit. People wait months to be brought through the system then given only a few days to appeal if they are turned down. Most immigration lawyers here are run off their feet and only get a short time to review cases etc before court.

      If the system wasn’t so broken in the first place, this kind of headline wouldn’t exist.
