For cases started after 1st October the fee will generally be £60, increasing to £75 if we complete it for you in one hearing. We rserve the right to charge more in the event of greater complexity but this will be rare.
Trials and S36/38 hearings by arrangement. We can assist with Duty Solicitor swaps/cover subject to LAA Contract Compliance, please contact us individually for each particular Court.
Increasingly, we are being asked to deal with bail applications for breaches of Crown Court bail, at the instance of both firms and referrals from Chambers. We only undertake these as agencies from the firm concerned not as a ‘Crown Court appearance’ with the advocate’s fee of £91. We only charge £60 for that reason to leave a profit element for the firm. We are not engaged by the Chambers that are briefed and do not account to them – no contract exists in those circumstances, although of course the firm is entitled to recoup the £91 from the barrister concerned in the usual way.
As from 24/5/23 we will be required to complete the PET and BCM forms on the common platform. Croydon in particular goes ‘live’ on that day.
We are looking forward to this as much as you are. Can we ask that you ensure that we are granted access to the case immediately after you instruct us? It will matter less on guilty pleas but we will not be able to complete an BCM or PET for without this
Best Wishes,
Bruce
