The legal team - solicitors and barristers - for Katherine and Ann Louise are acting 'pro bono' (i.e. waiving their fees) in the case. There are, however, outlays to be paid. These include administrative costs such as research, photocopying, binding, telephone and costs for stamp duty.

A major expense is the costs of travel for witnesses, and witness expenses. The KAL Initiative has paid out some €15,000 towards above costs to date, and we urgently require more funds to meet such expenses in support of the KAL case.

The KAL Initiative successfully applied for and was granted Atlantic Philanthropies monies. This grant covers the employment costs of the KAL Initiative Co-Ordinator post, appointed to work with the KAL Initiative Management Committee to co-ordinate the KAL Initiative, oversee the implementation of the legal, advocacy and communications strategies.

Fundraising events and donations are crucial to the KAL Case: Expert witness costs are being paid by the proceeds of fundraisers and by the generous donations of supporters. Without this support, the KAL Case would be badly undermined.

To that end, fundraising events are very important to us. In addition, particularly for those who may not be in a postition to attend fundraisers, donations may be made to the KAL PayPal account or directly to the KAL fundraising bank account.
