You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.
The Legal Services Commission has amended CLSAPP1, CLSAPP6, CLSAPP7, CLSAPP8, CLSMEANS1, CLSMEANS1A, CLSMEANS1B, CLSMEANS1C, CLSMEANS2, CLSMEANS3, CLSMEANS4, CLSMEANS5, CLSMEANS1 GUIDE, CLSCK3, CLSPOA1, and the Controlled Work Forms to reflect new contract references, comply with the requirement of the Phase 2 Fee Scheme and to enhance the fraud deterrent element where this is relevant.
All these amended forms must be used from 15th November for applications which are signed and dated on or after this date.
CDS14, CDS15 and CDS16 have been revised to accommodate contract and operational changes and to enhance the fraud deterrent element. LF1 and LF2 have also been amended and PL1 is a new form.
The latest versions of CDS14, CDS15 and CDS16 must be used for any applications signed and dated on or after 15th November.
CDS18A is a new form which should be used in all Prison Law cases where the case details which have been submitted on CDS6 have been “flagged” as exceptional.
Finally, legal aid practitioners are also advised that we will be publishing the Legal Services Commission’s new form AF1 for use under Scheme 6 before it has to be used in January 2011.
