1. The consultation document confirms that we can opt out of any early or late listings to stick to normal hours. My suspicion is that they will not publicise this (this article being a case in point);

2. Publicly funded lawyers get an uplift in fees if they agree to sit early or late; those privately funded do not, even if fees are fixed.

3. It is unclear what happens if one party wants to opt in and the other doesn’t.

The simple solution is for all except LIPs to opt out.
