I was very surprised, but cheered, to hear that the LSC have finally conceded the point on the recent Law Society JR decision and decided that all recently introduced standard fee schemes are unlawful. This affects the Civil scheme, Family Help and Public Law Graduated Fees, and in the CDS the new PACE scheme and the Crown Court LF.
From today we return to payment by hourly rates. More details below.
April Fool!
