Block Fee 2 – Bail Appeal

The bail appeal fee remains unchanged.

This fee is only payable in respect of a bail appeal under section 32 of the 1995 Act, or an appeal under section 201(4) of the 1995 Act.

The fee is for all work in connection with a bail appeal hearing including any continued diet and, where necessary, instructing Edinburgh agents.

The fee is payable at a standard rate regardless of whether the appeal is in the High Court or Sheriff Appeal Court.

The fee is payable more than once in a case but only in relation to a separate and distinct bail appeal.

This fee cannot be claimed in respect of a bail review. Any work done in connection with a bail review is covered by the general fees payable in the case, with the exception of any time engaged in respect of travel, waiting and attending court, which can be charged for separately.
