answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to promoting mediation as a less stressful and quicker method of resolving private family disputes. Mediation must first be considered before private family cases are resolved in court proceedings, except in cases of domestic abuse. Since November 2014, legal aid covers the cost of the Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) and the first mediation session for both parties, even if just one of them is eligible.</p><p> </p><p>The Lord Chancellor recently announced the post-implementation review of the legal aid changes made by, and following, the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. The review will consider the effect of the major changes to legal aid made by LASPO as well as amendments made subsequently as part of the ‘Legal Aid Transformation’ programme. At the same time the Government laid a Post Legislative Memorandum which addressed the implementation of these changes.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 21/11/2017 17:45:10 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
