Question 14:
The Legal Aid budget is grossly overspent. Most of the overspend has gone on the few Very High Cost Cases that soak up about half of the total expenditure on Legal Aid.
As a result, the Department of Constitutional Affairs has to save 8% right across its budget. Because of the overspend on a few complex cases in the highest courts, other courts across the land face a freeze on recruitment, an end to all but critical maintenance of plant and buildings, and a deterioration in service to the public.
Describe the logic of this decision on no more than one side of A4.
Use of the words "outrageous" "Stupid" "unjust" and "Bastards" will be penalised.
