This Order revokes and replaces the Crown Office Fees Order 1999. The following fees taken in the office of the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery are increased:

  • Letters Patent for the grant of title of City or of Lord Mayor, from £1,250 to £1,435

  • Letters Patent for a Charter of Incorporation or Supplemental Charter, from £315 to £410

  • Letters Patent for the appointment of Heralds, from £175 to £180

  • Letters Patent for appointment as Queen’s Counsel, from £150 to £165.

The fee for the determination of an abeyance of a Barony, for which a Writ of Summons is no longer required, is decreased from £150 to £130.

For the first time, fees are taken for the issue of Letters Patent promulgating amendments to Canon law, and for certificates confirming appointment as Queen’s Counsel.
