May I, once again, remind everyone how Expert fees across all disciplines have faired in the last 15 years.

About 15 years ago Expert roles were codified and a standard table of fees was produced, with the promise of an annual review. During the following 6-7 years the fees were, apparently, reviewed annually, but never changed. In more recent times they have been cut by 10% and 20%. So fees that were set at £100/hr are now paid at £75/hr.

By comparison inflation has crept up year on year and what cost £100 now costs £150.

So, according to the LAA, I am now worth just half of what I was 15 years ago.

It is any wonder that highly qualified and experienced professional across all disciplines are no longer accepting instructions in LAA funded cases?
