LAA Update

Dear Clerks,

The recoupment process will begin on 2^nd February for the contingency payments made during the cyber attack.  Your barristers should have now received a statement setting out the amount to be repaid and the schedule of repayments.  The password for the statements is the barrister’s LAA supplier number.  If your barristers haven’t received their statements, or if there any queries arising from them, please email civilclaimbc@justice.gov.uk and they will help you.

The recoupments will show on the weekly remittances whether payments are being made alongside them or not.

If you have queries about the process or wish to discuss pausing repayments whilst payments from claims catch up then please contact civilclaimbc@justice.gov.uk to discuss the options available.

I am still having weekly meetings with the LAA so if there are issues arising for you that you can’t get answer for then please let me know and I will do my best to assist

Best wishes

Sarah Reynolds
