Essential reading for practitioners dealing with cases under the Care Case Fee Scheme, this book is written with the busy practitioner and other legal professionals firmly in mind. The book is a clear and comprehensive guide which explains how the scheme works in practice, includes practical advice in relation to managing live cases and claiming costs at the conclusion of the matter.Intended to expand upon the limited amount of guidance in relation to the scheme and to assist busy practitioners by avoiding frustrating and costly delays with the Legal Aid Agency’s online billing system, the book seeks to ensure that the practitioner is properly rewarded for dealing with the most exceptional and difficult cases, identifies common pitfalls and provides guidance to avoid expensive mistakes.With information and advice based on dealing with countless cases under the scheme including feedback gained over many years from fee earners, leading family chambers, costs draftsmen and the Legal Aid Agency, the book provides a single source of information and the text is supplemented with helpful appendices.Written by an expert in the field, this is an invaluable tool for any individual undertaking work under the scheme and for those involved in billing the cases.ABOUT THE AUTHORPhilip Dewin is a highly experienced costs draftsman and director of a specialist costs drafting firm.
