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

(1)

Irrespective of any dispute under paragraph 8(3) as to whether the principal standard fee should have been allowed instead of the lower standard fee, where a litigator is satisfied with a decision to allow a standard fee but contends that—

(a)

a standard fee which is not appropriate for the type of work done has been allowed; or

(b)

the provisions of paragraph 10(6) to (14) have been incorrectly applied

he may make a written request to the appropriate officer to review the decision.

(2)

A written request under sub-paragraph (1) must—

(a)

be made within six weeks of receipt of the notification of the decision under paragraph 8(2); and
