EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Order replaces the Deeds of Arrangement Fees Order 1980. It increases the fees to be taken by the Registrar of Deeds of Arrangement and the Department of Trade and Industry in connection with these proceedings.

The Deeds of Arrangement Fees (Amendment) Order 1982 which is revoked by article 4 was by inadvertence not printed and laid before Parliament and, consequently, the increase in certain fees made thereunder did not take effect.

(1)

The Order was made in 1982, but was never printed and did not take effect.
