An extra special decision to choose 22 Dec to make sure the fees don’t actually come into effect in January.
They promised in November last year. Then held a fake consultation which ignored all submissions and decided in July to do exactly what had been decided in November. Then only put it into effect in January .
They want legal aid to die.
