The
Government
submitted
that
no
award
should
be
made
in
respect
of
any
claimed
future
liability
to
pay
money
to
the
police
or
the
Legal
Services
Commission
as
these
sums
had
not
been
actually
incurred
.
They
considered
the
hourly
rates
claimed
by
the
applicants
’
solicitor
(
GBP
175
)
excessive
and
that
this
part
of
the
claim
should
be
reduced
to
GBP
2,000
.
They
also
did
not
accept
that
it
was
necessary
to
brief
two
counsel
in
the
case
and
submitted
that
the
30
hours
’
work
claimed
for
October
to
December
2005
was
excessive
,
particularly
since
the
observations
on
the
merits
did
not
add
significantly
to
their
original
application
and
observations
.
They
took
the
view
that
no
more
than
GBP
1,500
should
have
been
charged
for
