Civil cases subject to special arrangements: criteria for identifying high cost and/or complex cases

We identify, monitor and help you in cases identified as being potentially complex or time-consuming – “high cost cases”.

There can be identifiable indicators that a case could be high cost or complex. Such factors include:

  • More than one legally aided party
  • Involvement of counsel
  • Number and location of experts sanctioned
  • Duration of case
  • Level of the approved cost limit
  • Complexity of the case
