The Ministry of Justice published initial impact assessments and equality impact assessments alongside the consultation papers Proposals for the Reform of Legal Aid in England and Wales and Proposals for Reform of Civil Litigation Funding and Costs: Implementation of Lord Justice Jackson's Recommendations, which were published on 15 November 2010.

There are a number of areas which we would like to consider closely with Citizens Advice and other interested organisations, and we will be seeking their views during the consultation process.

The consultation and the impact assessments can be accessed at the link at http://www.justice.gov.uk/consultations/legal-aid-reform-151110.htm.
