R3 insolvency litigation campaign summer 2017 update

In December 2015, the government announced the end of the exemption for insolvency litigation from the 2012 Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act – an exemption which helps return approximately £480m owed to creditors from rogue directors and others every year. R3 fought a long campaign to secure a permanent exemption from the Act, including winning an extension to the exemption in February 2015.
