Clause Code : CPHC

Additional preparation where there are more than 100 charges

Clause type: Approval

Solicitor clause wording

Aid approved for additional preparation where there are 100 or more charges/counts involved. The fee on this grant is a fixed fee for this stage of the proceedings. A proforma invoice is attached. (CPHC)

Explanatory Notes

Under this policy Legal Aid Queensland will provide an additional preparation grant of aid when at least half of the charges are charges that are fundable (i.e. Legal Aid Queensland does not fund minor traffic offences or regulatory offences). This additional preparation grant applies only once per stage of matter. Where there is 100 or more charges the CPMC grant of aid cannot be issued in conjunction with the CPHC grant of aid.
