CrowdJustice campaigns provide a platform to raise funds for legal cases, with clear guidelines on how these funds can be allocated. Funds raised can cover a wide range of case-related expenses, including but not limited to:
Lawyer fees
Expert witness statements
Trial costs
Reading case papers and other preparatory tasks- Court fees
Payments to barristers (depending on their ability to hold funds on account and adhere to payment processor requirements)
It is essential that funds are used for expenses that are reasonably related to the intended legal case. Ensure your campaign clearly indicates how the collected funds will be utilised for transparency and credibility.Always communicate with contributors about any changes in the scope of your legal needs and the corresponding use of funds. Prompt notification of deviations and creating new campaigns for additional cases can uphold transparency and trust.
