Legal Aid - Family Controlled Work Billing Course
The LAA operates a strict compliance regime when it comes to auditing family controlled work matters, and mistakes can often result in a Contract Notice, corrective action, and further follow-up activity within 6 months.
This course will discuss the various aspects of family controlled work billing, with discussions on topics such as:
- how to bill private law, public law, and help with mediation matters
- how to evidence whether substantive negotiations and a settlement have taken place in private law matters
- how do the LAA audit travel and other disbursement claims
- what evidence must be present on files to avoid any issues on audit – including scope, gateway evidence, and forms/evidence of means (rules on evidence of means will be included in brief, however, a separate, more in-depth Civil Means Assessment Guidance Course is available)
- the rules on claiming separate matters and escape fees.
Key aspects of the Civil Contract and associated LAA Guidance (including the Codes Guidance) will be included, along with a discussion of common errors that are made.
