PUBLIC OFFICES FEES ACT 1879 - SECT 3

Regulations by Treasury.

3. The Treasury may from time to time make, and when made revoke, alter, and
add to, regulations for all or any of the following purposes respecting fees
in any public office; that is to say,

(1)Regulating the manner in which the fees, taken in money, are to be taken,
accounted for, and paid over:

(2)Determining the use of impressed or adhesive stamps, and the mode of
cancellation of adhesive stamps:

(3)Regulating the use of stamps and prescribing the application thereof to
documents from time to time in use, and requiring documents to be used for the
purpose of such stamps.

Any document which ought to bear a stamp in pursuance of any regulations in
force under this section shall not be received, filed, used, or admitted in
evidence unless or until it is properly stamped within the time prescribed by
the regulations, but if any such document is, through mistake or inadvertence,
received, filed, or used without being properly stamped, the same may be
stamped under the direction of such court or person, and under such conditions
as may be prescribed by the regulations.

Any regulations under this Act, so far as they relate to the office of any
court of law, shall be made with the consent of the Lord Chancellor.
