IN BRIEF
PLP exceptional funding project
The Public Law Project (PLP) has announced the details of its exceptional funding project, which is being supported by the Law Society. PLP will provide a limited service directly to the public to draft applications for exceptional funding under section 10 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. The exceptional funding provisions will only apply where the European Convention on Human Rights or EU law is in danger of being breached. PLP has launched a telephone advice line to answer queries on legal aid and exceptional funding: 0808 165 0170. (See page 17 of this issue.)
