Paragraph 28 Provision of written or oral advice

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where in any case on indictment an advocate is assigned under a representation order solely for the purpose of providing written or oral advice, he will be paid for the reasonable number of hours of preparation for that advice using the rates of hourly fees for special preparation set out in the table following paragraph 19 as appropriate to the category of trial advocate.

(2)

An advocate claiming a fee for advice under this paragraph may apply to the appropriate officer to redetermine the fee under article 29 and he must supply such information and documents as may be required by the appropriate officer as proof of the number of hours of preparation.
