This Order amends the Supreme Court Fees Order 1980 so as to—
(a) increase Fees Nos. 1 (sealing writs etc.), 12 (sealing writs of execution), 13 (applications for certain processes of enforcement), 14 (application to examine a judgment debtor), 23 (affidavits and exhibits), 26(a) (warrant of arrest of ship or other property) and 27 (appeals and applications to the Court of Appeal); and

(b) introduce a minimum fee of £200 for the sale of a ship or goods in Admiralty proceedings (Fee No. 26(b)).

In most instances the extent of the increase can be seen from the Order itself. In the case of Fee No. 26(a) the increase is from £30 to £60 and the description of the occasion on which the fee is charged has been redrafted for greater clarity.
