Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

In any case, we can't accept your petition because all individual case funding decisions are taken by the Legal Aid Agency. Ministers are prevented by law from intervening in this process.
