These fees are effective from 1 January this year. For fees payable prior to this see Archived versions of the Handbook.

| Supreme Court | Appearance and conference | $1235 |
The fees in Table T may be increased in matters involving applications for:

Practitioners can claim these fees using ATLAS ==REPACE TEXT HERE== or submitting a tax invoice.
Payment of fees
VLA does not pay counsel’s accounts directly.
The assigned lawyer is responsible for lodging, administering and paying counsel’s accounts and should ensure that all accounts are settled before closing and finalising the file and the grant.
