Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the fees to be taken on or in connection with the enrolment of deeds in the Central Office of the Supreme Court. They also contain the provision governing the cost of advertising the enrolment of a deed poll which was formerly contained in the Enrolment of Deeds (Change of Name) Regulations 1983 (now superseded by the Enrolment of Deeds (Change of Name) Regulations 1994). The Regulations revoke the Enrolment of Deeds (Fees) Regulations 1922 and the Enrolment of Deeds (Fees) (Amendment) Regulation 1951.

Most of the fees contained in the revoked fees instruments have been omitted as obsolete. The differences, so far as it is practicable to show them, between the old fees (shown in decimal values) and the equivalent new fees are as follows:—

Fee 2 (making and examining copies)25 penceRanging between 7-20 pence (decimal equivalents)
