(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Solicitors’ (Non-Contentious Business) Remuneration Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1931) which deals with the remuneration of solicitors in respect of non-contentious business. The amendments provide for interest which may be charged on solicitors’ unpaid costs to be calculated by reference to the fees contained in a direction made by an ombudsman of the Office for Legal Complaints under section 137(2)(b)(i) of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29). The Order also substitutes new terminology for the assessment of costs.
