Workshops showing how to present the right electronic proof while claiming for Crown Court work are to be taken off in the coming months.
A supplier workshop is to be held on 11 April 2019 telling suppliers the best way to accurately claim for electronically served Pages of Prosecution Evidence (PPE).
Extra occasions will be held in Leeds, London and Newcastle over the coming months.
This pursues a fruitful 'PPE and exceptional planning pilot' workshop in Manchester on 11 March 2019.
For what reason is the crown court workshop occurring now?
A few claims are being submitted without the right data. This is prompting pointless dismissals and expense decreases.

The Crown court claims workshop will cover:
· supporting data for electronic proof
· assessment process
· LAA reports

Where will crown court workshop be held?
The workshop will be held at the Legal Aid Agency office, 18 The Priory Queensway, Birmingham, on 11 April 2019, somewhere in the range of 11 am and 1.45pm.
