Notes

This table shows what we paid to firms for each solicitor advocate between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2007.
It includes BACS payments transferred to the firms' bank accounts and cheques dated between those dates.
In some cases, money may have been paid to the firm, but returned to us, and any such amounts put through our accounts system between those dates have been deducted. If a solicitor advocate has repaid us money in a year later than the original payment, they may be shown as having been paid a negative figure.
Amounts are rounded to the nearest £100.
A further 1 solicitor advocate received payment from the Board of less than £100. This totaled £50.
