Reading Contract Compliance documentation also now has a distinctly retrospective feel to it. They are of course fairly few and far between nowadays, except seemingly in Immigration, and so the feelings of despair, bewilderment and anger they engender are no longer a common experience.
I had thought that the practice was now pretty much a discredited one which was becoming obsolete under unified contract and standard fees. The attraction of 5 figure recoupments, as my current correspondents face, is seemingly however too strong for the LSC to resist.
This is a world replete with nostalgia and we can certainly do without a re-run of this appalling episode in Legal Aid history.
