Guide to the changes in reporting Crime Lower work

For Category 1 cases, providers will be asked to select whether the case is an either way or ‘Summary Only’
case. Where there is a single charge then you should select the relevant category. Where your client is
charged with more than one offence then you should select the most serious offence and base your
selection of ‘either way’ or ‘summary only’ on that charge. If you are representing more than one client, as
part of the one case (as set out in our Crime Contract Specification part B) then you should select the most
serious offence and use that to determine whether the case is ‘either way’ or ‘summary only’.
3.3 Detailed guidance on magistrates’ court fees:
For matters with a representation order date on or after 3 rd October 2011, a new set of rates will be
introduced. The attached table summarises the fees which can be claimed when delivering magistrates’
court work. This is the value which must be entered in the profit costs field in CWA.
Please note:
1) The Claim Code used and the Standard Fee Category both determine the values that can be entered
in the profit costs field.
2) There are no London fees for matters with a representation order date on or after 3 rd October
2011.
3) The new rates are shown in yellow and London rates have been removed from the table. All other
rates are unchanged.
4) London court and provider validation has been removed from CWA so that all providers can claim
national rates for magistrates’ court work.
