Calculation basis and source
- Period

- Trigger
- Date when the right to detailed assessment arose
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- CPR r.47.8 applies to this regime by virtue of r.47.8(4) and (5), reading the solicitor as the receiving party and the Legal Services Commission or the Lord Chancellor as the paying party. So the sanction structure is the same soft one: an application for an unless order is required before costs can be disallowed. Extension under r.3.1(2)(a).
- PD 47 para 17.1 is in the same terms. Where the solicitor has certified that the funded client wishes to attend, the court fixes a hearing on receipt of the request (r.47.18(4)); otherwise the court provisionally assesses without attendance unless it considers a hearing necessary (r.47.18(5)).
