Explanatory note

This Order amends the Family Proceedings Fees Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/1054).

It increases fees payable in family proceedings as set out in the Explanatory Memorandum, which is published at www.legislation.gov.uk.

It incorporates those fees relating to family proceedings which have been removed from the Magistrates’ Courts Fees Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/1052) on the establishment of the single family court.

Where fee 2.2 has been paid before this order comes into force, a refund of £1,360 is payable if a final order is made at a case management conference or case management hearing.

The schedule to this Order contains a new schedule showing all the fees payable in family proceedings.

A full impact assessment is also annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum.
