Rejected petition Stop Women from claiming free legal aid from false claims of domestic violence.

Since the law has changed, there has been an increase in claims of domestic violence. I would like a screening process put in place with the legal aid services where both parties are given the chance to give their story before awarding free legal aid.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "a screening process put in place with the legal aid services where both parties are given the chance to give their story before awarding free legal aid".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
