The National Audit Office (NAO) has called on the Legal Services Commission (LSC) to blacklist more law firms after revealing that a third of solicitors doing civil legal aid work are overcharging by more than 20%.
The claim was swiftly criticised by both the Law Society and the Legal Aid Practitioners Group (LAPG) who accused the NAO of failing to understand the civil legal aid system.
