  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThese Rules replace the Court of Protection Rules 1984. They regulate the procedure in respect of applications under the Mental Health Act 1983 and provide for the division of functions between the Court of Protection and the Public Trustee.\nThey also reduce the administration fee for private receiverships, with a compensatory increase in fees for Public Trustee receiverships, and eliminate the transaction fee previously payable on the sale and purchase of property. The fee changes are designed to reduce the cross-subsidisation between the two types of receivership with no overall increase in fee income.\nA new winding-up fee has been introduced where the Public Trustee had been appointed receiver. Before the making of these Rules, the fees for the following items were—\n(a) Commencement fee—£50 to £100.\n(b) Appointment of an officer of the court as receiver—£150.\n(c) Passing of an account in—accordance with the following table—\nClear Annual Income\nIncome Band\nExceeding\nNot Exceeding\nFee\n(i)\n£1,000\nNone\n(ii)\n£1,000\n£2,000\n£200\n(iii)\n£2,000\n£3,000\n£400\n(iv)\n£3,000\n£5,000\n£600\n(v)\n£5,000\n£7,000\n£1,000\n(vi)\n£7,000\n£10,000\n£1,475\n(vii)\n£10,000\n£15,000\n£2,100\n(viii)\n£15,000\n£2,100 plus 5% of income exceeding £15,000",
