Dear Applicant

Further to your follow-up request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000.

The text of your request is repeated below in bold, followed by the
Trust’s response:

So how can a Hospital Trust have a case in Court, with regards to stopping
ventilation, without Legal representation within the Court arena, only if
the Legal team were working PROBONO.

Can you please clarify if this is the case?

At the time of the previous request, we had not processed any invoices
from our Barrister. However, the Trust has now paid £21,630 inclusive of
VAT to date on this case in legal fees.
