Judges shoot down callous Lord Chancellor’s bid to deprive immigrants of legal aid

LAWYERS called on Chris Grayling to resign yesterday after appeal judges declared the Justice Secretary’s callous bid to cut legal aid for immigration cases unlawful.

Lord Chancellor Mr Grayling’s attempt to overturn a previous High Court ruling that the proposed policies were “unlawful and too restrictive” was rejected at the Court of Appeal.

Award-winning lawyer Raj Chada told the Star: “Grayling is now a serial offender in getting it wrong — he needs to resign.”
