Legal aid for family cases in private law, mainly divorce and
separation, where the state is not directly involved as it is in
public law cases where there are issues of domestic violence or
neglect or abuse of children, came to an abrupt end together with
help for welfare and immigration cases on April 1 2013 when the
Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) came
into effect. This book presents an account of the wide ranging
problems which the researchers and practitioners expected to ensue.
Sadly, their fears have been realised in many areas of legal help
and advice. The National Audit Office was to take the view in 2014
that although the Ministry of Justice had succeeded in making
considerable savings in the cause of austerity that they had failed
to investigate or understand the impact of these cuts on the
individuals concerned and society as a whole. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Social
Welfare and Family Law.
