Apply for a representation order

Breaches of civil injunctions made under part 1 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 are criminal for the purposes of legal aid. This is because there is a risk the client may go to prison.

Providers with a crime contract should apply using the Apply for criminal legal aid service.

Providers without a crime contract must email the CRM14 form.

Providers without a crime contract, or a 2024 Standard Civil Contract in the relevant area of law, need to meet the criteria for an Individual Case Contract (ICC).

Claim for payment

Providers with a criminal contract must submit a CRMCLAIM11 form (PDF, 121 KB, 2 pages) form, and where necessary, a CRM8 form to claim assigned counsel fees.

Providers with an ICC must submit a CRMCLAIM11 form (PDF, 121 KB, 2 pages) to Magistrates Billing in Nottingham. You should include your full file of papers, and where applicable, a CRM8 form and note of taxation from Counsel.
