Prior Authority for Experts
Background
On 11 October 2011, as part of the legal aid reform programme, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) enacted a new Funding Order that set maximum hourly rates and prescribed fees for certain types of experts. The Order does not prescribe the amount of time that may be spent by an expert on a case. The Order does allow for higher rates to be paid if specific exceptional criteria are met. The LSC is required to make funding decisions in accordance with the Order. http://www.familylaw.co.uk/system/uploads/attachments/0004/6773/Prior_Authority_for_Experts_-_May_2012.pdf
