Table J – Lump sum fees for County Court breach matters
Table J sets out the fees payable by Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) for County Court breach matters. (Note: The fees in Table J do not apply where the breach proceedings are heard at the same time as a plea in the County Court. In that case the applicable fees are the plea fees in Table F ).
These fees are effective from 1 January 2014. For fees payable prior to this see Archived versions of the Handbook.
| Service/proceeding | Hours | Fee payable |
|---|---|---|
| Solicitor preparation | 5.5 | $819 |
| Mention | 1.25 | $237 |
| Daily appearance | n/a | $855 |
| Sentence (if on a different day) | n/a | $284 |
Practitioners can claim these fees using ATLAS+ or submitting a tax invoice.
Circuit fees
Except where counsel or solicitor advocate practices in the circuit town or a surrounding township, circuit fees in accordance with Table NN are payable.
