(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order provides for the increase of certain fees payable in relation to civil proceedings in the Court of Appeal, High Court and county courts. For convenience this Order replaces the entire schedule of fees payable in civil proceedings in the Court of Appeal, High Court and county courts. In most cases, fees have been increased by the cumulative rate of Consumer Price Index inflation since they were last increased. Fee 5.2(a) has been increased by less than that.
The original fees and the rates of inflation since the last increase are detailed in the Explanatory Memorandum which is published on the website of the Office of Public Sector Information along with a full impact assessment which was prepared for this Order.
