This I (in my humble opinion) was a change for the better.<br /><br />Everyone (even crooked MPs) have the right to the presumption of innocent, until proven otherwise in a court of law. However once proven guilty I think that criminals should have to repay all their defence costs. Sell their homes, or make them work to pay it off which ever is quicker.However pay they should, but only after they are proven guilty!<br /><br />From<br />Chris Hill<br />(Lancaster)Dr Chris Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091680341352996729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053405856464872035.post-62935127775557017762010-04-13T12:31:01.966+01:002010-04-13T12:31:01.966+01:00Reach for the blood pressure tablets....I remember...Reach for the blood pressure tablets....I remembered this little gem (sic) from a while back actually it's 2005 (which surprised me) also look at the links on other news stories from these pages?

The solicitor charded £125/hour (+ barrister's costs, + the court costs,+ travel costs for all (300 miles each way to the court - I would have to pay all that).<br /><br />The worst thing about it was that it was a repeat of a case I'd already won two years previously, for which I DID get legal aid. The difference was that the first time we had a Tory government, the second time it was this NewLayabout government.<br /><br />All I wanted to do was to enforce an order the court had already made the first time I was there.<br /><br />So apparently, this government wont even give help to enforce orders its own courts had made.<br /><br />I believe TATA got legal aid as well as Maxwell - or was it that other Indian who had bought himself a peerage from Blair? One of them, anyway.Sir Henry Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414086555889687483noreply@blogger.com
