Do ensure solicitor does not make a claim from Legal Aid Agency for the Legal Help costs, too. It’s either/or, not both, even though there might only be a small element of the Legal Help that is, in reality, deemed of an IP nature.

We recently had an inquiry regarding VHCC in a civil inquest.

We were wondering whether anyone had any experience in this area and could provide some guidance.

I believe the issue with the locations is being caused because users are able to select more than one location which isn’t ideal. I’ll look at a fix.

Perhaps David you could have a word in the right ear!

If you need any further guidance let me know. I may have still have some notes I can dig out on this if that would help.
