The Sheriff Court Fees Amendment (No.2) Order 1993
This Order amends, with effect from 1st January 1994, the Sheriff Court Fees Order 1985. It takes account of new procedures, coming into force on that date, introduced into ordinary cause actions in the Sheriff Court. This Order inserts an additional article, 9A, into the 1985 Order and substitutes a new Table of Fees in the Schedule to that Order. Most of the existing fees payable in relation to proceedings in the sheriff court are increased. New structures for the charging of certain commissary fees (at paragraph 3) and taxation fees (at paragraph 34) are introduced. New fees are introduced (at paragraph 16(d) and Part V) for certain procedures relating to lodging of documents, motions, appeals and hearings on the merits of a cause. A new fee is introduced (at paragraph 15A) for petitions for the removal of a disqualification under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
