Would someone care to ask about fee rates paid to experts by the LAA.

They were 'codified' over ten years ago, reviewed but not increased for 6 years, then cut by 10% and then by 20%.

If a fee rate of £100 p.hr. had been increased in line with inflation it would now be £150, but the freeze and the cuts means that today it is only £75.

No wonder the best experts are giving up LAA funded criminal cases.
