Summary

A decision  to halt a fraud trial  meant they defendants could not find barristers to represent them. they could not find to be challenged by the Financial Conduct Autority. This is because Legal aid fees in England and Wales have been cut by up to 30%. As a result, many barristers refused to take on long or complex cases.

Opinion

I was shocked to read this topic. According to this topic, Legal aid fees in England and Wales have been cut by up to 30%. Therefore, many barristers didn’t take on long or complex cases. It means defendants can’t have rights that they are tried a trial justifiably. This is serious problem. If I were a barrister, I would not refuse to these cases. In other words, we should provide enough legal aid fees for barristers to take a justifiable trial. So, I can’t agree that Legal aid fees in England and Wales have been cut by up to 30%. Thus, it  has to change its system as soon as possible in my opinion. This is what I thought to read this topic .
