EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/3121).
It inserts a new fee (fee 2.9) for a request for the issue of a certificate of satisfaction in relation to an entry in the register of judgments kept under section 98 of the Courts Act 2003. The register is governed by the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3595). The new fee replaces the fee (fee 13.1) for a request for the issue of a certificate of satisfaction in relation to an entry in the registry of county court judgments. The amount of the new fee, £15, is the same as the amount of the fee being replaced.
This Order also increases, from £15,050 to £15,460, the maximum gross annual income above which working tax credit will not be a qualifying benefit for the purposes of exemption from court fees under the 2004 Order.
