Petition Stop Legal Aid for Libel litigants
More details
Libel litigants are bringing our courts into disrepute with trivial claims. Since Leveson and McAlpine there has been a huge number of speculative libel claims issued. Many of these litigants receive fee exemption paid by the public purse. Legal aid for libel litigants. Stop this abuse now and conduct an urgent review of these cases to save taxpayers money.
