  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/1053).\nArticle 2 amends the timescales in which fee 2.1 is payable. This is the fee payable prior to a trial for cases allocated to the small claims track, fast track and multi-track in the High Court and county court. Article 2 also removes the availability of refunds for these types of cases where they have been settled or discontinued.\nArticle 3 is a saving provision, with the effect that the amendments contained in this Order do not apply to cases in which a notice of the trial date or the trial period is given by the court before the date on which this Order comes into force.\nA full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available at https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/court-fees-proposals-for-reform/results/cost-recovery-impact-assessment.pdf and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.",
