Legal Services Payment Orders - Key Principles & Practical Insights

Introduction

Legal Services Payment Orders are available as a remedy to any party involved in financial remedy proceedings but are relatively rarely used. Parties and lawyers alike are often conscious of the hurdles that must be jumped to secure them and the costs consequences of failure. As with all discretionary solutions, they carry risks and rewards that can be hard to assess. However, they are a crucial tool that unlocks representation for many parties who would be otherwise unable to access it.
