The High Court has overturned controversial planned
changes to legal aid for housing support. In a judgement published on Friday,
the judge, Mrs Justice Andrews, found in favour of the challenge to the
Ministry of Justice’s (MOJ) decision to make changes to the way housing advice
is procured. These controversial changes would have consolidated and reduced
housing legal aid schemes, and introduced price competition. The MOJ will now
reconsider the remitted proposal. The proposed changes relate to the Housing
Possession Court Duty Scheme (HPCDS), local schemes which provide immediate
legal advice to people at risk of losing their home. Read more on Inside
Housing.
