Article summary

The Justice Together Initiative has published a report which examines the demand for and supply of immigration legal advice in London. The report was commissioned in the context of immigration laws that are increasingly complex for applicants to navigate and which require specialist legal advice, while the availability of legal advice has reduced significantly, due in large part to immigration law being taken out of scope of legal aid. Justice Together believes that ‘The lack of immigration advice in the capital is having serious consequences, forcing people into irregular status and into poverty.’
