On Tuesday's Backchat: Proposed legal aid reform; and discovery of new marine species.
Legco’s Legal Service Panel will examine a government paper proposing that legal aid recipients in criminal cases will no longer be able to choose their own lawyers, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
The planned revamp came after lawmakers said the system had been abused.
In future, the Director of Legal Aid would assign lawyers to defendants, and nominations would only be accepted in cases such as when the lawyer concerned had already represented the defendant in lower courts.
The paper also proposed lowering the quotas of legal aid cases that lawyers can undertake, and further limiting the number of judicial review cases they can take on.
After 9.15am, we’ll be discussing the discovery of new marine life species in Hong Kong waters.
