Court Fees
Fees payable for various applications at Court are laid out by a Statutory Instrument referred to as a Fee Order which in turn is periodically updated by Fee Amendment Orders. As at 1 August 2008’ the most current Fee Amendment Orders are:
- Sheriff Court Fee Amendement Order 2008 SSI 2008 No.239
- Court of Session Fee Amendment Order 2008 SSI 2008 No.236
- High Court of Justiciary Fee Amendment Order 2008 SSI 2008 No.237
This means that until another Fee Amendment order is released by Scottish Ministers the initial current fee for lodging the following types of actions should be as specified in the table below:
