I totally agree with Steven.
We don’t do a lot, most 3-4 in a year but I would be happy not to do any as this is another way of squeezing the solicitors even further. You have my support.

The answer is to grant non means tested legal aid on these cases in my view.
Hopefully on legal aid rates most firms will not deal with s38 cases. The fee on each case would probably be in the region of £200 max – nothing to get excited
about. It would be really good if there could be a unity on this tiny issue among the profession. Boycott s38s – how easy is that!?

5. We consider that, despite the fact that this can be a sensitive task, the work of court appointees under section 38 or section 4A is in reality no different to that undertaken
by lawyers acting for a defendant under legal aid. Therefore we propose capping such costs at legal aid rates, as we have already done in relation to Defendants’ Costs Orders. There is no reason to pay a premium for this work just because payment is made from
central funds rather than the legal aid budget. The work involved and time required to prepare is little different from many legal aid cases.
