Michael McCann – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Michael McCann on 2014-06-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many cases funded by legal aid against his Department where public interest lawyers have represented clients were won by his Department in each of the last 10 years.

Anna Soubry

It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question, since in a number of cases where there were multiple issues before it, the Court found for the claimant on some issues and for the defendant on others.
