\n

An Advocates Graduated Fee Scheme (AGFS) survey has opened to help support the development of a new online system for crime billing work. <\/p>\n

You can find a link to the survey below, which has been designed to gather your views on current AGFS billing practices.<\/p>\n

All views are useful but it would be particularly useful to hear from anyone who submits handwritten AGFS bills.<\/p>\n

Crime Billing Online<\/h3>\n

The information will feed into the work of the Crime Billing Online (CBO) project team. <\/p>\n

This is now moving into the next phase of development for the new Advocate Defence Payments application.<\/p>\n

The CBO team has successfully established a working prototype for the application and have just been given the green light to expand their work and carry out billing tests with users.<\/p>\n

Assessment tests<\/h3>\n

Approval was only given after extensive assessment tests against the Government Digital Service (GDS) Service Framework.<\/p>\n

\u2018User needs\u2019 has been the main focus and the team has already been working with a pilot group.<\/p>\n

This has included chambers\u2019 billing clerks, solicitor advocates, software vendors and legal aid caseworkers.<\/p>\n

Further testing will involve rolling out the billing application to this group and then on to other users over the summer.<\/p>\n

Crime Change Programme<\/h3>\n

The CBO project is a part of the Crime Change Programme, which is working to move crime applications and billing online.<\/p>\n
