Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Sheriff Court Fees Order 1997.
The Order amends article 7 of that Order (exemption of certain persons from fees) so as to ensure that the exemptions do not apply to (1) Commissary proceedings or (2) to a petition for removal of disqualification under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 in the sheriff court. This is reinstated from the Sheriff Court Fees Amendment Order 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/269).
The Order also specifies new fee levels for proceedings in the sheriff court. Fee levels were last amended on 16th July 2007 by the Sheriff Court Fees Amendment Order 2007 (S.S.I. 2007/318). The fees in the Table of Fees in Schedule 1 to this Order are payable from 1st August 2008 and reflect an average increase of 31%. There is no increase in Auditor of Court fees in 2008.
The fees in the Table of Fees in Schedule 2 to this Order are payable from 1st April 2009 and reflect an average increase of 3%. The fees in the Table of Fees in Schedule 3 to this Order are payable from 1st April 2010 and reflect an average increase of 3%.
