Tip of the Month!
Time recording – assessors get a feel for how fee earners record time, significant numbers of attendance notes recording activities in multiples of 30 minutes may lead the assessor to believe that excessive rounding has occurred. This could affect the credibility of the claim. Any attendance over 4 units should include details of the time spent, without supporting information claims may be reduced to 4 units. This will become even more significant after the proposed changes come into effect (17.8.2020) and the £2,500 threshold for assessment by the Courts is removed.
