  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order revokes the County Court Fees Order 1982 and replaces it by specifying new fees for proceedings in county courts following the introduction of the new Civil Procedure Rules 1998 which come into force on the same date as this Order.\nIn particular, the fee structure specified in this Order specifies fees payable at the two new stages of allocation and listing introduced by the Civil Procedure Rules.
