1929crash Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Changed last April. I know somebody also affected, I don't like big shiny words like "justice" but in this case there are people who really suffered and continue to be in fear from ex-partners (mostly men) and now can't do anything about it because they can't afford to. Withdrawing legal aid for these cases was a really bad decision Really? If you're accused of sexual offences that you didn't do and want to defend yourself I don't think shopping around for a cheap lawyer is an economy many of us would be inclined to take. I am a bit confused if the OP is right, I thought these no-win no-fee lawyers made their money by charging extortionate legal fees on cases that they knew they would win and have costs awarded. If it's only paying basic rates then they no longer have a viable business model. No win no fee is restricted, so far as I am aware, to personal injury claims, but I am open to correction on this.
