After consultation with the Legal Services Commission the macro controlling the Schedule of Time Spent on page 4 of form CDS7 has been altered. The correct procedure for completing page 4 is as follows:

Total Fee Earner time = total of all time taken from column above, ie. 10 hrs

Time (old rate) = amount of time that will be charged at old rate, ie. 5 hrs

Enhanced rates % uplift = enter percentaged in this box, ie. 100%

Costs (old rate) = time (old rate) + % uplift (if applicable) x hourly rate (ie, �25.00) - (5 hrs + 100%) x 25.00 = �250.00 or ((300 mins/60) + 100%) x 25.00 = �250 this figure is entered into this box and is calculated manually.

Costs (current rate) etc as above, eg. (5hr (remaining) + 0% uplift) x hourly rate (ie, �26.30) = �263.00

Total Costs = Costs (old rate) �250 + Costs (current rate) �263.00

Costs (current rate) etc as above, eg. (5hr (remaining) + 0% uplift) x hourly rate (ie, �26.30) = �263.00

Total Costs = Costs (old rate) �250 + Costs (current rate) �263.00

The CLSCLAIM1 has also been amended on page 4 to allow more space for the date and total fields.
