Consultation launched on criminal legal aid

Tue, 24 Sep 2019

A consultation has been launched seeking people’s views on the current criminal legal aid provision offered on-Island.

 

It’s part of a wider legal aid review project, which is being led by HM Attorney General on behalf of the Council of Ministers.

 

The legal aid review is being carried out in two parts, to reflect both types of legal aid in the Island (criminal and civil) - a consultation on civil legal aid will be launched later this year.

 

Once both are completed, the policy options will be submitted to the Legal Aid Committee.

 

The criminal legal aid consultation is available online through the Isle of Man Government’s Consultation Hub.

 

Paper copies of the consultation are available from the Attorney General’s Chambers on request by calling 685452 or emailing attgen@gov.im.
