Payment for A&A where claiming judicial expenses: no claims on Fund or your client

Where you are accepting judicial expenses in lieu of a claim against the Fund under civil legal aid, you should not make any claim against either the Fund or your client for work done under either advice and assistance or civil legal aid.

You cannot take any payment from your client in connection with the proceedings for anything done while civil legal aid is in place.
