Justice Nicholas Mostyn of the High Court of England & Wales has expressed concern about reduced government funding for legal aid in Australia and the UK. He says the funding cuts will threaten both the rule of law and the principle of equality before the law. Meanwhile, the Productivity Commission has urged governments at state and federal level to boost legal aid funding by $A200m.
