Criminal fees appeals: Multi-handed appeals

Wherever possible, appeals in relation to the same case by all or many of the advocates and/or solicitors concerned are listed together or at short consecutive intervals on the same day. Where this presents problems to individual appellants, representations should be made to the Clerk of Appeals who will consult the Costs Judge as to whether an exception can be made to this general rule. It may however be possible to hear all the appeals of advocates in one particular case on the same day and all the appeals of solicitors in relation to the same case on another day.
