Civil processing dates
Check timescales for LAA to process your work (for example, civil applications and bills).
Applies to England and Wales
Summary of processing timescales
Information will be updated on a weekly basis and the current position will be the oldest date as of Friday the previous week.
The exceptions are Civil Applications which will be updated on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday to reflect their current processing timescales and ECCT which will display the latest monthly processing figures.
(Last updated 2126 April 2023)

---|---|
Case plan | 17 days |

ECCT Applications
Processing Target | March % in Target | Average day’s to complete | |
---|---|---|---|
We aim to process 80% of all Exceptional and Complex Case applications within 15 working days of receipt. This includes Emergency applications which are processed more quickly. Emergency applications are made where there is no time to submit a substantive application (for example due to an imminent hearing) and it is not possible to exercise delegated authority to grant emergency funding | 73% | 15 Days | |
We aim to process 90% of all Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) applications within 25 working days. This excludes time any applications are on hold, for example if we need further information to be able to make a decision. Urgent ECF applications are monitored separately and we aim to process those within 10 working days. Urgent ECF applications are those where services are requested to deal with an emergency and we agree that the case should be considered in a quicker timeframe (rather than rely on backdating provisions). | 96% | 13 Days |
