# The Criminal Defence Service (Funding) Order 2007, Paragraph 24: Non-local appearances


Where an advocate is instructed to appear in a court which is not within 40 kilometres of his office or chambers, the appropriate officer may allow an amount for travelling and other expenses incidental to that appearance, provided that the amount must not be greater than the amount, if any, which would be payable to a trial advocate from the nearest local Bar or the nearest advocate’s office (whichever is the nearer) unless the advocate instructed to appear has obtained prior approval under CDS Regulations for the incurring of such expenses or can justify his attendance having regard to all the relevant circumstances of the case.
