Millennium Rel V5.73.1 - February Legal Aid LSC Changes
Millennium Accounts V5.73.1
As you are probably aware, the Legal Services Commission has made minor changes to Legal Aid CDS and Claims Forms. You will probably have received notification of this directly from the LSC (OPSIS are not responsible for supplying this information).
The Millennium Accounts release of 5.73.1 primarily contains new reports and miscellaneous new features. It does, however, also include some Legal Aid changes.
Below is the relevant information from the release notes:
Legal Aid Enhancements:
Some late form changes have been made by the Legal Services Commission:
| · | The CDS7 template “Non-Standard Fee Contract Work Assessment Form” has had page 4 updated with the latest LSC guidance notes. |
| · | The FR1 template has been updated to version 8 October 2008 and has had all reference to civil files removed from the form as they are no longer valid. |
Police Station Schemes:
| · | From December 2008 you will now see the Fixed Fees & Escape Fees for Police Station Schemes with 15% VAT. |
Legal Aid Billing:
| · | When billing Tailored Fixed Fees (TFF) Replacement bills the fixed fee, recorded against the matter type, is increased by any non-counsel disbursements entered. You will now see both values onscreen during billing. The recorded fixed fee/tolerance fee (as entered on the matter type) is shown in the Recorded column and the increased fee is shown in the Total column. |
| · | Fixed fee values, entered against the matter type, for TFF Replacement bills are now also increased by any non-counsel future disbursements entered during bill posting. |
The Legal Services Commission should have already notified providers of the form changes. Please refer to the LSC website or contact the LSC directly for the most up to date information.
