Where are court fee figures set out?

• A. Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008 as amended
• B. The Fees Order 1990
• C. Civil Procedure Rules
• D. Judicial Costs Schedule

Answer: (A)

Court fee figures are fixed by a statutory instrument called the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008, as amended. This document sets out the amounts payable at different stages of civil proceedings (issuing claims, filing documents, hearings, etc.) and is updated over time by amendments. The Fees Order from 1990 is older and has been superseded by the 2008 order; the Civil Procedure Rules govern how cases are run rather than how much they cost to file or progress; and the Judicial Costs Schedule relates to specific costs charged in court-related matters rather than the standard court fees for civil proceedings.
