This Order amends the High Court of Justiciary Fees Order 1984 (“the 1984 Order”) to take account of the coming into force of section 1 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 which introduced a new benefit, income-related employment and support allowance. This Order amends article 2A of the 1984 Order, which provides for the exemption of certain persons from fees, to include the new benefit within the exemption.
This Order also amends the financial limit in article 2A(g) of the 1984 Order in relation to the annual gross income taken into account for the calculation of the working tax credit for the purposes of exemption from court fees, increasing it from £16,017 to £16,642.
