The calculation ratio is that 10% of the expenses incurred by the authority and the tribunal in their disciplinary-related functions will be apportioned to the Law Society and 10% to all practising barristers, whether or not they are members of the Law Library, while the remaining 80% will be apportioned in proportion to the expenses incurred in the consideration and investigation of complaints in respect of the three categories of legal practitioner. The expenses incurred by the authority in fulfilling its functions other than those relating to complaints will be apportioned pro ratabetween the three groups.

A levy assessment notice shall be sent at the end of each financial year to the relevant professional bodies or individuals, as the case may be, specifying the total due to be paid and the breakdown of the final tally and how it is achieved. The initial set-up costs for the new bodies will be paid by the Exchequer on a recoupable basis.
