Table J – Lump sum fees for County Court breach matters
Table J sets out the fees payable by 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 18 January 2011. The new fees apply to all existing grants of aid where the matter has not been finalised, and new grants of aid made on or after 18 January 2011. Where an appearance was conducted prior to 18 January 2011, the appearance fees in Table D1 in Fee Schedule 7 are payable.
These fees are claimed using the Miscellaneous crime – tables J, T, Y and Z tax invoice.
