Although not as straight forward perhaps as crown court costs only payable under DCO if LA applied for and refused.

I would have thought that the rep order only covers work from the date that it was granted. Any work done before that can be billed privately and recovered under a DCO.

Isn’t the CC Rep Order supposed to cover the costs of the magistrates court hearing, so isn’t this double claiming? 

Interested in people’s views.

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.
