EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order introduces a revised scale of fees in respect of appeals and other proceedings (except devolution proceedings) before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The value of money has fallen by about 12% since the last change in 1996 but the majority of fees are increased by larger percentages than that, ranging from 38% to 66%. However, one fee is abolished and no change is made to the fees for originals and copies of Orders (except fee no. 8 which is brought into line with fee no. 11) or to the taxing fee.

The other main change is that the limit on assets for qualification as a poor person (to obtain exemption from payment of fees) is raised from £500 to £2,000.

The Order also makes minor changes to the numbers of copies of petitions that have to be filed for various purposes and increases the length of notice a party liable to pay costs will get of the taxation appointment and of the bill presented by the other side.
