Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Non-Contentious Probate Fees Order 2004 as follows:

(a)

in fee 10, the reference to the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2004 is updated to refer to the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008;

(b)

amends the definition of “party” in Schedule 1A, so that it refers to “individual” rather than “party”, in order that fee remissions do not apply to companies, partnerships or charities; and

(c)

the fixed deductions in sub-paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 1A are updated so that they are consistent with the fixed allowances other court fee orders.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
