The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the (a) applicants and (b) Community Law Partnership received legal aid in relation to the case that resulted in the High Court decision of [2024] EWHC 1137 (Admin).

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Whether or not an individual is in receipt of legal aid constitutes their personal data. Having regard to data protection legislation, it is not possible to disclose whether the Claimant in this matter received legal aid.

Legal representatives only receive legal aid funding to the extent that they represent a client in whose favour legal aid has been granted.
