A number of longstanding and trusted interpretations of contract are currently being “tested” by the LSC on audit i.e. they are trying to see what they can get away with.
These have potentially significant impact on CDS billing in particular however appeals are now being decided in private and not in front of 3 member panels anymore. On the other hand I have relaxed by “would I be prepared to argue this point in front of a cost committee” test when advising on appeal.
They do not seem keen to pursue decisions which go against them to Point of Principle however.
