Mr. Liam O'Daly:
No, it depends on the type of case and the type of work being carried out. There are specific amounts for the drafting of defence pleadings, with variations, which we use as indicators of what we would pay. If a barrister marks a fee in respect of what he or she regards the piece of pleading to be worth, it is helpful. However, it is not necessarily what we would pay.
