Articles 2 to 11 and Schedules 1 to 5 amend specified court and tribunal fees set out in the first ten instruments listed above in order to apply an inflation-based increase of an average of 2.6% (rounded to the nearest pound). They also amend specified court and tribunal fees set out in those instruments in order to apply an accumulated inflation-based increase of an average of 34.3% (rounded to the nearest pound). Schedules 3 and 4 also reduce four fees.
Article 3 also amends the Non-Contentious Probate Fees Order 2004 to increase application and associated probate fees and reduce the fee for a copy of a document relating to a named person from £16 to £2 where the request accompanies an application for a grant.
Article 7 also amends the Family Proceedings Fees Order 2008 to exempt a relevant local authority from paying a fee in respect of an application made under or by reference to section 10B of the Children Act 1989.
Article 12 and Schedule 6 amend the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) Fees Order 2013 to replace Schedule 1 in its entirety and make associated amendments to the body of the Order. The new Schedule 1 sets out application and hearing fees by reference to applications under specified legislative provisions. It increases application fees from £114 to £200 and hearing fees from £227 to £300 in relation to applications in items 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 3.3, 3.5, 3.8, 3.10, 3.12, 5.1, 5.4, 5.5, 5.8, and 6.3.
A full impact assessment of the effect of the increase in the application fee for a grant of probate is available from the Ministry of Justice, 102 Petty France, London, SW1H 9AJ and is published with an Explanatory Memorandum alongside this instrument on https://legislation.gov.uk. A full impact assessment has not been prepared for the inflation-based increases to court and tribunal fees, as a full impact assessment was previously submitted to accompany the Court and Tribunal Fees (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2024 (S.I. 2024/476) and the methodology used in this instrument is identical. A full impact assessment has not been prepared for the remaining measures in this instrument as no significant impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
