‘PPE’ means ‘Pages of Prosecution Evidence’.
The Solicitor Representative appeals against the decision of the Commission to allow
remuneration under the 2011 Amendment Rules on a PPE count of 170 pages rather
than including an additional 15,322 (approximately) images of pictorial exhibits
served as part of the prosecution evidence on CD or digital format. The solicitors
say the proper PPE count is over 15,000.
The Defendant pleaded guilty some time after arraignment. The Solicitors claim
costs on their analysis of the PPE of just over £85,000.00. The Commission have
allowed costs fee on their analysis of the PPE of £3,240.00.
