The Court of Protection (Amendment) Rules 1999
These Rules amend the Court of Protection Rules 1994 so as to:increase the value of a patient’s property below which the court may make a short order or direction;increase some of the fees payable, and the income bands applicable to the annual administration fee and the receivership fee on passing an account (fees numbers 2 and 6), in both cases replacing the variable fee for the highest income band with a fixed fee. The changes are described in the tables below.reduce (in most cases) the fees charged for an assessment of costs from the current fee of 5% of the bill as allowed to a fixed fee of £160 with a separate fee of £50 if the original assessment is appealed;remove the annual apportioned administration fee between the date of the application for the appointment of a receiver and the date of the appointment.
