Disbursements: is prior authority required to incur expenditure? Beware instructing interpreters and translators, it is the Courts responsibility to arrange interpreters at Court, not all documents need to be translated. Ensure that letters of instruction to experts make clear the LAA codified rates for experts and that the invoice includes a breakdown of work undertaken and is, when necessary, apportioned in accordance with the order instructing the expert.
