Legal Aid

Sums Don't Add UP

Paragraph 30 of the executive summary of Lord Carter?s report on legal aid states that he envisages sole practitioners earning between ?36,000 and ?55,000 a year, while equity partners in firms of 40 fee-earners should earn between ?120,000 and ?150,000 a year.

It is strange to me that the government?s proposals for legal aid should produce such a different result, despite the government apparently endorsing what Lord Carter has said. Is this another case of the government not getting its maths right?
