Update on plans due in Tynwald
The Isle of Man Law Society says a government scheme designed to cut legal aid costs will in fact do the opposite.
Its president, Jane Gray, appeared on Sunday Opinion on Manx Radio to speak about the proposal.
The Public Defender scheme has been put forward as part of government's SAVE initiative, a progress report on which will be debated in Tynwald next week.
Ms Gray says government's claims don't stack up:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
DfE says schemes have been 'generally well received'
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
'Stand Up to Suicide' message continues to be spread
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
Meetings to be held in coming weeks following review
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
Nearly two weeks of action planned for Snaefell Mountain Course
