“” It is a pleasure to be here this evening to deliver the LCLCBA’s annual lecture. It is some time now since I was the chairman of the Association and I am glad to see that under the chairmanship of Michael Kent QC it continues to go from strength to strength. The role played in the development of the profession, and the interests of their members, of specialist Bar Associations, such as the LCLCBA is of immense importance and will continue to be so. I should emphasise that the views I express are my own; I do not purport to speak for the judiciary more generally…”

“Since 1st October 2012, the LSC has been refusing applications for prior authority for experts if their fees are set within the codified rate [ as per the Community Legal Service (Funding) (Ammendment No.2) Order 2011]. However there is an exception – that is if the hours requested by the expert are ‘unusually large’. So the question for practioners is what constitutes an ‘unusually large’ amount of hours ? The odds are that if, for instance, you are instructing a psychologist for a bog standard cognitive assessment of a parent, then the hours are likely to be very much the same across the board. But as soon as any form of complexity creeps in, then how long the assessment / report takes to complete begins to vary. And when you get to Independent Social Workers, what is the ‘norm’ for the LSC and the ‘norm’ for the Independent Social Worker seem continents apart.”
