Subject: Costs from central funds query
Dear members,
Just had a query about costs from central funds. The scenario is that the defendant instructed us privately in respect of a single hearing in the magistrates court. The
defendant elected and was subsequently found not guilty in the Crown Court.
The defendant had the benefit of legal aid with a contribution in the Crown Court, just wondered whether an application for costs out of central funds can be made in respect
of the work undertaken in the magistrates court?
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
