A regular topic of phone queries relates to the funding of assistance to clients facing confiscation, restraint and receivership under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Fortunately there is a very helpful grid explaining the options at Page 11 of this issue of Focus on CDS 17.
Worth printing off and having to hand in our experience.
Last day for January billing continues to keep the phone busy too.

Save that there should be some caution in relation to the restraint and receivership element of Crown Court proceedings, and also in relation to subsequent variation, crown court adequacy applications, and applications to revisit benefit and realisable figures. All of these only questionably fall within the EPF element of the litigator fee as it is too poorly worded for my liking. So, proceed with a little caution.
