EFIS 12, April 2008 : Legal Aid

You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

CLSAPP3, CLSAPP5 and CLSAPP8 have been reworded to improve clarity and reflect changes to the schemes for paying legal aid.

CLSCLAIM1A and accompanying Guidance has been revised to reflect changes to the assessment process whilst CLSMEANS1 and CLSMEANS3 have been updated to clarify information required in line with criteria for eligibility.

CWORK1 has been amended to clarify information required in line with eligibility guidance and CWORK 1_2_MH has been slightly amended from the version which we released on EFIS No. 2 in January.

CWORK2(IM) has been updated to include contract specification and forms CWORKS3A(IM), CWORKS3B(IM), CWORKS3C(IM) and CWORKS4 have been updated to improve processing.

EC_CLAIM1 has been divided into two new forms EC_CLAIM1(CIVIL) and EC_CLAIM1(CRIME) for civil and criminal cases. Therefore EC_CLAIM1 needs to be deleted from your system(s).

CMRF(TTF) has been amended in accordance with the introduction of new schemes for civil legal aid.

CDS14, CDS15, CDS16 and CDS17 have also been updated.

All forms can be used immediately.
