We are now working with the Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Sarah Sackman and the Ministry of Justice to resolve the necessary percentage increase to all defence fees, not limited to increases in RASSO cases Time is of the essence. Chair’s Message. The start of that process has been productive. Our essential role in the Criminal Justice system has been recognised and the Lord Chancellor and Minster of State have referred to the respect with which they hold the Criminal Bar’s vital contribution to justice. We will do all that we can to work with them to achieve a “financially realistic and merit based increase.” If our efforts are met with prevarication and a lack of progress, we will ask you what our next steps should be.
