Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Section 5 (Fees Payable in the Taxing Office) of the Court of Judicature Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 [S.R. 1996 No. 100] so as to—
restrict the fee of 5% of the original bill submitted for taxation to a maximum fee of £3,500;
restrict the fee of £0.15 for every £1 or fraction of £1 on the amount allowed on taxation to a maximum fee of £10,500; and
correct some minor typographical errors.
The Supreme Court Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 has been renamed the Court of Judicature Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 as a consequence of the renaming of the Supreme Court of Judicature of Northern Ireland by virtue of section 59 and paragraph 6 of Schedule 11 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4).
