VHCC Scheme from July 2010
11 August 2010
The criminal Very High Cost Cases (VHCC) Panel Scheme expired on the 13th July and has been replaced with an individual case contract arrangement.
From 14 July 2010, litigators and advocates instructed on VHCCs with representation orders from that date will operate under this arrangement.
Cases currently operating under the VHCC panel contracts will continue to do so until their conclusion. Equally, any new cases with representation orders dated between 14 January 2008 and 13 July 2010 will continue to operate under the VHCC panel contracts.
Please use this link to take you to the LSC website detailing the new arrangement and forms to be used.
