EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the Supreme Court Fees Order 1999.

The following amendments are made to take account of the new rules on enforcement introduced by the Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 4) Rules 2001 (S.I. 2001/2792):

In addition, fee 3.5 (fee payable in relation to enforcement of foreign judgments, arbitration awards and enforcement of judgments abroad) is extended to include a fee payable for a certificate for use abroad. (Such certificates are issued under Article 54 and Annex V of the Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22nd December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. The effect of Article 54 is that a person wanting to enforce a judgment in all Member States except Denmark will need to apply for a certificate rather than a certified copy of the judgment.) (article 5)

There is no change in the amount of any of the fees.
