The Office of the Legal Costs Adjudicators (OLCA) Strategic Plan outlines the office's direction for the three-year period. It has been established to formalize the office's objectives and strategies in line with the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015.
Aims and Rationale
The central aim of the strategic plan is the delivery of a high-quality service in the adjudication of legal costs. The plan was set out to increase transparency in how the OLCA assesses legal fees, ensuring that parties required to pay legal costs can understand the assessment process. This aligns with the office's vision to contribute effectively and efficiently to a world-class court system.
The plan is designed to be achieved within existing resources and aligns with the strategic plans of the Courts Service, upon which the OLCA relies for budget, staff, and IT support.
