The Legal Services Commission have again altered their position with regard to the criteria for submission of Case Plans and the definition of a High Costs Case. In response to the Review by Lord Carter of Coles and the subsequent speech of the Lord Chancellor to the Law Society, the document ‘Legal Aid Reform: The Way Ahead’ was produced in November 2006. One recommendation of this publication, which has been acted upon immediately, is that all requests for increases to Public Funding Certificates above £25,000.00 will require a costed Case Plan.
However, help is at hand because we here at Gibbins are able to prepare High Costs Case Plans for you. Whether you require a fully costs Case Plan from scratch, or just a quantification of costs to date and a calculation of future costs, we can help. Because of our size, we have been able to departmentalise and have a dedicated team dealing solely with Child Care matters and we have extensive experience of drafting and drawing High Costs Case Plans.
Obviously, these are uncertain times for Solicitors involved in Publicly Funded matters, but whatever lies around the corner, you can be sure that Gibbins will be available to meet your costing needs. Why not put us to the test?
