About this form

Judicial Apportionment Orders must be submitted with Litigator and Advocate graduated fee claims in order that the Final Defence Costs can be properly calculated.

Where a client is convicted in the Crown Court of one or more but not all offences, there is provision under Regulation 21 of the Criminal Defence Service (Contribution Orders) Regulations to apply to the Judge for an order to pay a proportion of final defence costs. Where an order is made, it is vital that a copy of the Judicial Apportionment Order is submitted with the claim for payment, otherwise it will not be possible to apply the apportionment and the client could be asked to pay more of their costs.

Whilst this is made clear on Forms LF1/AF1, an increasing number of queries have been received on this point.
