Wasn't to be our day yesterday 😪 beaten by a very strong @CDFW_Reds but couldn't be more prouder of this group of girls. They've all worked so hard this season, finishing 3rd in a very strong U15's league, Semi finalists in SWFA Cup and Runners up in the League Cup final.

Pleasure to speak to @radiowales to try and provide some clarity over what is controversial legislation.

BREAKING: @TheLawSociety has taken 1st step to judicial review of government's "unlawful & irrational" decision not to increase solicitors' legal aid fees by 15% in line with Lord Bellamy's recommendations. It has sent a pre-action letter to the lord chancellor, Dominic Raab

[CrimeLine @CrimeLineLaw]

The Law Society only rarely litigates. All decisions have to pass through a committee process for approval as the costs can be very high. It therefore only acts where it has received robust advice on merits.

[CrimeLine @CrimeLineLaw]

The Law Society has urged the Lord Chancellor to either rethink his decision not to increase defence solicitors’ legal aid rates by the recommended 15% or face a judicial review.
A pre-action letter has been sent challenging its decision-making as unlawful and irrational.

🏴 @LegalNewsHQ reports @LawSocWales has launched our new National Board for Wales.

David McNeill, our Director of Public Affairs, said: “So much is going on in Wales and it’s exciting. In Wales, we see a govt & a profession with a plan”

Our Head of Justice, Richard Miller: "We are extremely concerned that for many of our members there could be no viable future in criminal defense practice.

It is a tragedy for the British justice system that years of political neglect have forced us to this conclusion."

[The Law Society @TheLawSociety]

For us, the fight for #CriminalLegalAid isn't over.

We're still exploring options for saving the system, including a legal challenge of the government's decision.
