July 23, 2006 – Reference Case Law

Guideline rates: In this case Master O’Hare stated that Court of Protection work was ‘less complex etc” than other areas of law such as litigation. He therefore ruled that hourly rates for Court of Protection work should be less than the Guideline Hourly Rates set by the SCCO for litigation work (but see Louise Smith & Others case).
