Scotland’s Redress Scheme: legal fees payment request form
Guidance and the legal fees payment request form for solicitors.
This form is for solicitors to request payment of fees related to applications for Scotland’s Redress Scheme. This includes work done on behalf of next of kin applicants and nominated beneficiaries.
You should not submit a fee request before your work with your client has finished.
There is a separate form for solicitors to claim expenses related to costs incurred on behalf of a client in connection with an application to Scotland’s Redress Scheme, such as money you have spent getting or certifying record for your client.
When completing this form, please refer to:
- the published statutory guidance on payment of legal fees
- the Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Reconsideration and Review of Determinations) (Scotland) Regulations 2022
This form is available both as an interactive PDF document and a print copy. If you’re using the interactive PDF, you can type directly in to the document and save it on your device.
