Civil legal aid: fees payable for undefended actions which become defended or vice-versa

Regulation 5(2B) of the Civil Fees Regulations makes clear that where you do work which comes within chapter I of Schedule 6 (undefended cases) and, in the same case, do work which comes within chapter II of that Schedule (defended cases) the fee for all work in that case shall be calculated on the basis of the fees set out in chapter II of that Schedule.

You cannot therefore mix undefended and defended inclusive fees and you must prepare your account using the defended tables in such cases.
