Close Up speaks to a top Auckland barrister who thinks legal aid deserves a pay rise.
Dame Margaret Bazley has said as many as 200 lawyers could be acting corruptly in an attempt to profit at the taxpayers expense. She recommends a shake-up of the system, but not everyone agrees.
Charl Hirschfeld, whose practise received more than $2 million in the last financial year, says his practise deserves every cent.
Close Up took a look at Dame Bazley's findings and
recommendations, and spoke to Hirschfeld about his views on the
system.
