Circuit Criminal Court Fees

Practitioners are advised that, as from 1 October 2000, the fees payable to solicitors for cases in the Circuit Criminal Court have been increased as follows:

• First day of trial: £865 (up from £820)

• Each additional day of trial: £432 (up from £410)

• Sentence hearing: £133.95 (up from £127).

Please also note that under the terms of SI 235/2000, a fee of £133.95 is payable to solicitors for an adjourned sentence hearing or a trial hearing which is adjourned within seven days of the scheduled trial date in the Circuit Court outside Dublin. This brings the payment scheme in line with the fees payable for such hearings in Circuit Court cases in Dublin. The above regulation is deemed to have come into effect on 1 June 1999.
