Fund legal aid and exempt all legal costs for those on low income or benefits

Barriers to accessing justice must be removed, starting with costs. From the start of all claims until conclusion, the Government must meet costs for those on low income or benefits in full. This should include in-depth legal advice and exemption from all fees.

There have been too many cases where people have been unable to afford to seek justice through the courts. Current arrangements for legal aid are extremely limited, and the Government should remove all costs in accessing justice for those on low income or benefits.

Injustice will escalate if changes are not made.
