F.P. Report
LONDON: Changes to the fees paid for criminal legal aid work from 30 September 2022 mean we are updating the guidance you use when submitting claims.
Which fees are increasing?
A 15% uplift applies to all the following fees:
The increase does not apply to pages of prosecution evidence (PPE) and trial length proxies in the Litigators’ Graduated Fee Scheme, or to prison law cases.
The ‘elected not proceeded’ (ENP) fixed fee is being abolished. These cases will now receive the appropriate graduated fee.
ENP fees have been paid in ‘either way’ cases. This is when defendants elect for Crown Court trial, in cases that could also be heard by magistrates’, but later change their pleas to guilty.
Claiming the new fees
You can claim for the new fees for any cases where the matter starts, or the representation order is dated, on or after 30 September 2022.
Where can I find out more?
Details of the revised fees and hourly rates are set out in the Criminal Legal Aid Remuneration Regulations (amended) 2022.
You can also use the updated guidance on GOV.UK:
Why is this happening now?
These increases reflect the government’s interim response to the recommendations made by Sir Christopher Bellamy’s Independent Review of Criminal Legal Aid.
