    EXPLANATORY NOTE

    (This note is not part of the Order)


    This Order amends the County Court Fees Order 1999.

    The following amendments are made to take account of the new rules on enforcement introduced by the Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 4) Rules 2001 (S.I. 2001/2792):

       - the description of fee 4.3 (fee payable on oral examination) is revised so that it now refers to an application for an order requiring a judgment debtor or other person to attend court to provide information in connection with enforcement (article 4);

       - the description of fee 4.4 (fee payable on application for garnishee order or charging order) is revised so that it now refers to an application for a third party debt order and a charging order (article 5).

    In addition a new fee 4.10 (fee payable in traffic enforcement cases) is substituted. The new fee 4.10 has been extended to embrace all sums that are, or are treated as, specified debts in the Enforcement of Road Traffic Debts Order 1993 (charges payable in relation to traffic enforcement) (article 6). A consequential amendment is made to the notes to fee 2.5 (article 3).

    There is no change in the amount of any of the fees.
