The organisational set-up of the Legal Aid Agency remains deficient in delivering access to justice.
Conclusion
The organisational set-up of the Legal Aid Agency remains deficient in delivering access to justice. The objectives of the Legal Aid Agency are construed narrowly and relate to improving processing times and reducing error. There is an insufficient focus on the policy objectives of the legal aid scheme as a whole, namely enabling access to justice. (Conclusion, Paragraph 149)
