Ministry of Justice
Added: Feb 14, 2012
The Ministry of Justice is seeking views on a proposed new fee framework for payments to ACC legal aid lawyers.
The framework is one of several changes being made to the legal aid system in order to make it more sustainable, and improve the quality of service provided to people who are eligible for legal aid.
Under the framework, lawyers will be paid fixed fees for most ACC legal aid activities, along with hourly rates for attending hearings.
