I need to go to committee regarding contravention of licence conditions. I want to take a solicitor to cover me incase they throw any complicated questions at me as I have been a bit naughty. I'm pretty sure it will be dealt with on the day, but there's an outside chance I could lose my badge and thats why I need representation. What sort of fees do solicitors charge nowadays to come to committee as I havent used one before? Cheers folks

It's not just the time at committee it's also preparation time. I would say £500 if it's not too complicated. Works out about four years union dues. |

She's got to be good if she's going to get him his badge back, I can't see her winning to be honest. If I tell you promise you won't laugh?

Go on, tell, tell! He's after getting his badge back after serving a 18 month ban for Drink Driving, the best thing about it is he got caught in his Taxi.

About £500-£750 plus travelling expenses and VAT would be about right for someone that 'knows their stuff'. At £80 it will either be a favour or someone very junior I would imagine. |

Hence why drivers should join a representative body, the legal fee's are then covered for a few quid each month. Que Brightonbreezy . . . |
