  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends article 5(2)(b) of the County Court Fees Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/689), which provides that working tax benefit is a qualifying benefit leading to exemption from court fees, as long as either child tax credit is being paid or there is a disability or severe disability element, and the gross annual income for the purposes of the working tax credit is below a given threshold. The amendments made by this Order:\n(a) provide that the child tax credit need not be received by the party seeking exemption from court fees, as long as it is being paid in respect of a claim for child tax credit made jointly by the party and his spouse or partner; and\n(b) increase the income threshold from £14,213 to £14,600.",
