EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)


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 12%. 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) 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/274). The Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment No. 3) 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/328) substituted the Table of Fees in the Schedule to that instrument for the Table of Fees in the Schedule to S.S.I. 2002/274.

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