The Civil Proceedings and Gender Recognition Application Fees (Amendment) Order 2021

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends two statutory instruments which prescribe fees that are payable in respect of certain applications. Article 2 of this Order amends the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/1053) to prescribe a £5 fee payable when bringing an appeal under regulation 38(9) of the Debt Respite Scheme (Breathing Space Moratorium and Mental Health Crisis Moratorium) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1311) against a decision by a debt advice provider to refuse an application for non-disclosure of a debtor’s usual residential address. Article 3 of this Order amends the Gender Recognition (Application Fees) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/758) to reduce the fee for making an application for a gender recognition certificate to £5.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
