# The Non-Contentious Probate Fees (Amendment) Order 2008, Note: Explanatory note


(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.
