This right ensures that the rule of law is upheld and should be applied fairly to all citizens. The sad fact remains though, that the current high costs of litigation translate into justice only being accessible by those who can afford the high prices of lawyers and advocates. Therefore, legal aid carries a constitutional mandate to help our poor and vulnerable to receive fiscally funded assistance. By revising the means test, access to justice will be increased and IFP is therefore in full support of the Report of the portfolio committee. Thank you very much.
