Paragraph 14 Claims for fees by an advocate
Subject to paragraph 23, no claim by an advocate for fees for work done under a representation order shall be entertained unless he submits it within three months of the conclusion of the proceedings to which the representation order relates.
A claim for fees shall be submitted to the appropriate officer in such form and manner as he may direct.
A claim shall:
summarise the items of work in respect of which fees are claimed according to the classes of fee specified in paragraph 15(5);
state the dates on which the items of work were done, the time taken where appropriate, the sums claimed and whether the work was done for more than one assisted person;
give particulars of any work done in relation to more than one indictment or a retrial.
Where an advocate claims that:
it would be inappropriate to allow a standard fee under paragraph 15(2); or
paragraph 15(6) should be applied in relation to an item of work
he shall give full particulars in support of his claim.
Where there are any special circumstances which should be drawn to the attention of the appropriate officer, the advocate shall specify them.
The advocate shall supply such further particulars, information and documents as the appropriate officer may require.
