As will be obvious from the posts below I have spent a great deal of time talking with “high cost” PACE firms recently. I actually went to see a firm in this position on Friday. The high cost element is travel. On just a casual glance at PS identification codes it is clear that they travel to at least one local “advice desert” on a fairly regular basis.
Rather than the threat of sanctions surely the LSC should be coming out and thanking the firm for helping them meet their statutory obligations.
