- Follow the Legal Referral Process.
- Add the case details to the log when requested by the referral officer: O:\Production\All BU\Public\High Value Casework\High Value Casework Logs.
- Refer back to the referral officer for the appropriate checks of cases of this value.

- CMS will prompt you for a new UID.
- Since the application in LRS has been app confirmed, you will not be able to delete and use the 'get UID' function.
- You will need to create a manual Direct Debit batch in eFin in order to create the new UID.
- You will not need to let finance know you have cancelled the first UID at this point.
- Amend the UID in LRS and apply.
- Enter the new UID into the field on CMS and submit.

If the consideration is between £1 million and £3 million then continue with the current process and email Finance Direct Debits to confirm the fee is correct before processing the case.
