The Legal Aid Agency has changed the funding arrangements to support the uptake of mediation. In cases where one person is eligible for Legal Aid and the other person is not.
Both people will be eligible for Legal Aid funding for the initial individual meetings and the first mediation session.
This means that if one person is eligible for legal aid funding, both will get their individual and first mediation meeting paid for by the legal Aid agency.
This change became effective from 3 November 2014.
