Magistrates' Allowances - No increase to financial loss allowance for 2007

A new schedule of allowances for magistrates (Justices of the Peace) took effect from 1 May 2007. The delay in announcing the new rates was caused, according to a letter published on the HM Courts Service website, by errors in the calculation methodology which caused the rates set for 2006/07 to be over-inflated. As a result, there is no change to the loss of earnings allowances for the year starting May 2007.

The unchanged rates are £42.37 for a half-day sitting and up to £84.74 for a full day sitting. The rates payable to self-employed magistrates are £52.96 for a half-day and £105.92 for a full-day. The only rates to be increased are the daily subsistence allowances.
