Civil news: revised fees for immigration and asylum work

Revised immigration and asylum work fees were introduced on 8 June for controlled legal representation (CLR) work under the 2018 civil contract.

The new fee is known as a ‘stage 2c fee’. It replaces the previous stage 2a and stage 2b fee when appeals are made using HM Courts and Tribunal Service online process. This is where appeal skeleton arguments (ASA) or written submissions have been needed.

The revised fees will last for one year and are as follows:

• £627 for asylum appeals

• £527 for immigration appeals

We are making changes in the digital billing service known as Contracted Work and Administration (CWA) to enable you to claim for the 2c fee.

The updated version of the immigration and asylum specification for the 2018 civil contract is now available on GOV.UK.
