Update on plans due in Tynwald
The Isle of Man Law Society says a government scheme designed to cut legal aid costs will in fact do the opposite.
Its president, Jane Gray, appeared on Sunday Opinion on Manx Radio to speak about the proposal.
The Public Defender scheme has been put forward as part of government's SAVE initiative, a progress report on which will be debated in Tynwald next week.
Ms Gray says government's claims don't stack up:
Manx Care urged to protect frontline services from further cuts
The Council of Ministers has rejected proposed health cost saving measures
Proposed new laws aim to reduce false alarms for fire service
Firefighters wrongly called out around 700 times each year
Alert issued to businesses and residents using DrayTek routers
Around 440 routers affected on Island
School league tables 'wouldn't be helpful in IOM', says education minister
'Difficult to get meaningful data' across the Island
