We have made changes to our electronic handbooks which are available to help you when preparing claims for civil finance and escape cases.
These handbooks are used by our caseworkers when processing your claims.
They were created from real caseworker and provider enquiries. They are designed to help you with your everyday questions on claims in civil legal aid and escape cases.
What has changed?
A full list of the changes is available in:
-
appendix 11 of the civil finance electronic handbook
-
appendix 12 of the escape cases electronic handbook
The updated versions were published on 3 March 2022.
How to use the handbooks
The electronic handbooks contain our operational requirements and guidance.
They should be used together with the cost assessment guidance and relevant contracts.
