Court of Protection Fees Order 2007 (SI 2007/1745)

This order amends Schedule 2 to extend the period for application of a fee refund.

Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008 (SI 2008/1053) and the Family Proceedings Fees Order 2008 (SI 2008/1054)

This order changes the terminology used in relation to enforcement fees to bring it into line with the provisions on taking control of goods under section 62 of, and Schedule 12 to, the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15).

This order also amends each statutory instrument amended by the Courts and Tribunals Fee Remissions Order 2013 (SI 2013/2032) to correct the numbering in the definition of “excluded benefits” in the schedule dealing with remissions and in that definition, corrects the reference to “any childcare element of the child tax credit” to “any childcare element of the working tax credit”.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen, except where amendments are made to align fees with what was originally intended when fees were introduced in Employment tribunals and the Employment Appeals Tribunal. A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect of those fees is available alongside the Employment Tribunals and Employment Appeals Tribunal Fees Order 2013 on the OPSI website.
