Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury
Under the Rules of the Supreme Court (No. 3) 1956 (S.I. 1956/2001), a party entitled to levy execution may not recover the cost of doing so from his debtor if the judgment sought to be enforced is for less than £40 and does not carry costs. This Order makes the necessary consequential amendment to the Sheriffs' Fees Order.
S.R. & O 1920/1250 (Rev. XX, p.734: 1920 II, p. 673).
