Amendments to civil legal aid will come into force on 15 May, removing the ‘much maligned gateway’ for advice in discrimination, debt and special educational needs and reinstating face-to-face advice in these areas, as well as a small change to the evidence required to prove a person is at risk from domestic abuse and therefore eligible for legal aid, NLJ columnist Stephen Gold writes in the latest Civil Way

DDJ Gold also covers coronavirus regulations on situations where a person leaves home and ‘embarks on some frolic for which there is no excuse’, as well as new rules affecting enforcement agents, release of prisoners and temporary amendment to adoption regulations.
