A new expert tariff item provides time for various expert witness preparation and/or testimony on Criminal Standard contracts.
Experts, experts, get your experts!! In August of 2022, LABC implemented a new expert tariff item on criminal cases. When Crown expert evidence goes unchallenged, our client’s liberty and our principles of fundamental justice are put at risk. This item provides up to 5 hours, without prior authorization, for various expert witness preparation and/or testimony on Criminal Standard contracts.
For full details, please see Notice to Counsel #118 and the Disbursements Tariff. Your feedback on this one would be appreciated too. Bring it to Legal Aid Connect or email us at lawyer.resources@legalaid.bc.ca.
