Terms of use

The short answer

You are welcome to read this site, print pages and link to them. What you cannot do is treat it as legal advice or as a decision about your eligibility, because it is neither. It is a free information service operated by Family Legal Ltd, provided as it is, and used at your own judgement.

Who provides this website

Legal Aid 60 is operated by Family Legal Ltd, company number 16431127, registered in England and Wales. Family Legal Ltd is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Full details.

Information, not advice

Everything here is general information about legal aid in England and Wales. It is not legal advice about your situation and does not create any professional relationship between you and us.

We cannot decide whether you qualify for legal aid, and no page or tool on this site does. Only the Legal Aid Agency, or a legal aid provider acting under its contract, can decide that.

The full disclaimer.

Accuracy, and its limits

We take accuracy seriously: sources are linked at the point of each claim, figures are stored centrally with their effective dates, and the site is reviewed every three months. How we work.

Even so, the law and the thresholds change, sometimes at short notice, and official sources sometimes contradict each other. We cannot guarantee that everything is correct and current at the moment you read it. Where a decision matters, check the source we have linked and speak to a provider.

What you may do with this content

You may read it, print it, save a copy for your own use, and link to any page. You are welcome to quote a short passage with attribution and a link.

You may not republish substantial parts of the site as your own, use it to train a service that reproduces it, or present it in a way that suggests we endorse you. The content is copyright Family Legal Ltd unless stated otherwise.

Material quoted from legislation and from GOV.UK belongs to its own rights holders and is used here under the terms those sources allow.

Links to and from other sites

We link to GOV.UK, the Family Mediation Council, law centres, Citizens Advice, Advocate and others because they are useful. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content. No outbound link on this site is paid for or an affiliate link.

You may link to us. Please do not frame our pages or present them as your own content.

Liability

This is a free service provided as it is. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Beyond that, we are not liable for loss arising from decisions taken on the basis of general information, particularly where the page told you to check the source and speak to a provider. If a decision matters, take advice on your own circumstances.

Availability and changes

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of this site. We update pages as the law changes, and these terms may change too. The version on this page is the one that applies.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
