If you have had the (dubious) pleasure of hearing me on the new Family Fee Schemes recently you may recollect mention of an appeal we have been involved in, regarding disbursements and Contact.
Briefly, a large experts fee, for a risk assessment in a Care case, was disallowed, in total, because a tiny element of it involved observation of supervised contact. The LSC have now decided, without further explanation, not to refer the matter to an ICA and to pay in full.
Utterly absurd.
