EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the First-tier Tribunal (Gambling) Fees Order 2010 (“the 2010 Order”). The 2010 Order specified the fees payable when bringing an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal under section 141 or 337(1) of the Gambling Act 2005.

This Order replaces the Schedule of fees to be taken in the 2010 Order with a new Schedule. The new Schedule sets out the new fees to be taken in Column A instead of the old fees set out in Column B. The new fees reflect the increase in inflation from January 2007, when the Gambling Appeals Tribunal commenced, to April 2009.
