Legal Aid: Asylum Appeals - Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Volume I

The Committee's report examines the Government's proposed changes to the system of legal aid payments in asylum appeal cases in England and Wales, under the draft Community Legal Service (Asylum and Immigration) Regulations 2005 (available below).

Issues discussed include:

  • The introduction of a system of retrospective funding

  • The merits test

  • Implications of the new system for solicitors offering legal aid services

Conclusions reached include that the merits test will have to be set at a lower level if the system of retrospective funding is introduced, to ensure that appellants and suppliers are not to be disadvantaged, since the legal aid system should not be used to restrict legitimate appeals.
