      EXPLANATORY NOTE

      (This note is not part of the order)

      This Act of Sederunt amends the Table of Fees in the Schedule to the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment and Further Provisions) 1993 (S.I. 1993/30080) by increasing the fees payable to solicitors by about 4.3%. The last increase to the fees mentioned in this Act of Sederunt was in the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment) 2001 (S.S.I. 2001/438). This Act of Sederunt also makes a larger increase to the fee payable in respect of undefended summary causes, to take account of new tables of fees for defended summary causes introduced by the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment) 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/235) and new summary cause rules.

      This Act of Sederunt does not apply as respects fees chargeable for work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
