The LSC has just uploaded some key documentation onto its website, which gives us a good idea of how legal aid will operate post April 2013, including:
- Draft merits regulations
- Draft procedure regulations (the equivalent of the Funding Code under the Access to Justice Act 1999)
- Draft evidence required to show domestic violence
- Standard Contract terms 2013
- Contract specification 2013 – this is the specificiation for the Community Legal Advice telephone service; but some parts are of general application
- Category definitions
