Section 78 Appendix of fees

The Appendix to these Rules, in this Part of these Rules described as “the Appendix”, shall apply so as to fix the fees payable pursuant to the following provisions of this part of these Rules.

Subject to paragraph (3), the fee specified in the Appendix shall be taken in respect of proceedings governed by these Rules.

The fee prescribed by rule 80 and contained in the corresponding provisions of the Appendix shall not be payable where the Public Trustee has been appointed and is acting as receiver for the patient.

Subject to paragraph (5) below, the person by whom any fee (other than a fee payable under rule 82) is payable shall, unless the Public Trustee otherwise directs, make the payment out of the income of the patient or, if he is dead, out of his estate.

Where the payment of a fee is to be made by the Accountant General then, unless the Public Trustee directs that payment is to be made out of the income arising from the fund, the Accountant General shall meet the fee from any cash sums held in court to the account of the patient.
