Justice Committee: Access to Justice

Committee hears from witnesses

The Justice Committee is holding an oral evidence session on Access to Justice—examining how effectively people can obtain legal advice and representation, particularly in civil and criminal matters. This inquiry will explore barriers to justice including cost, availability of legal services, and the impact of legal aid constraints on vulnerable groups.

Access to justice is a fundamental public service that affects millions of people navigating courts, disputes, and legal problems. Poor access disproportionately harms low-income individuals and those unable to afford legal representation, potentially undermining confidence in the rule of law and leaving vulnerable people without recourse.
