Explanatory note

This Order increases the annual fees for diocesan and provincial registrars fixed by the Legal Officers (Annual Fees) Order 1990. It also transfers work in connection with a censure pronounced by a bishop with the consent of the accused person in the case of a complaint under the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963 (No. 1) from the categories of work covered by the diocesan registrar’s annual fee to those remunerated in accordance with the Solicitors' Remuneration Order 1972 (S.I. 1972/1139).
