insert the fee for filing an answer/reply to a petition/answer and the personal application fee for a matrimonial interview in that part of the Schedule dealing with the commencement of proceedings;
insert the fee for a C2 application in that part of the Schedule dealing with proceedings under the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995; and
