Cambridege Law Centre, which I believe was funded by the LSC, ceased trading this past weekend. The message on their telephone states that all admin enquiries should be directed to a local Insolvency Practioner, and that any one requiring advice etc should contact their local CAB. It doesn't advise what people with outstanding Benefit cases are supposed to do...

yes i saw that on the BBC this morning.....very depressing!

the local press (Cambridge news web site) is reporting that the Charity Commissioners are looking at reports of "possible financial irregularities"
and that some 560 (?) clients have been cut adrift.....

LCF statement on the closure of Cambridge and Huntingdon Law Centres -

'Advice for Life, a charity which ran Cambridge Law Centre and Huntingdon Law Centre, has gone into liquidation. As a result, both Law Centres have closed.

The Law Centres Federation (LCF), which represents the 56 Law Centres in England and Wales, is very concerned about the impact that the loss of these Law Centres will have on local people, particularly at a time of economic recession.

For this reason, LCF and a neighbouring Law Centre have offered their assistance to the liquidator to ensure that vulnerable local people continue to get the legal help they need.'
