MORE TIME TO SAVE ON COURT FEES

You haven't dipped into my 'Law Watch' video number 47? Shame on you. I there heralded a series of increases (and some decreases) in court and tribunal fees (and a couple of others) which were intended to take effect on 01 April 2025. The legislation required to give effect to the changes has since been published and will not come into force until 08 April 2025. That means you have extra time to save on the affected fees by rushing to take a step in proceedings which would be caught by the legislation or, in the case of a small number of decreases, going slow.

The legislation is the Court and Tribunal (Miscellaneous Amendments)  Order 2025 (SI 2025/351) which you can find here -
