I also wish to inform the Deputy that fees charged in the courts are set by means of Statutory Instrument. The fees were last amended by the:
Supreme Court and High Court (Fees) Order 2008, S.I. 200 of 2008,
Circuit Court (Fees) Order 2008, S.I. 201 of 2008, and the
District Court (Fees) Order 2008, S.I. 202 of 2008.
The Schedules to these orders set out the current court fees in detail.
These Orders revised the fees set out in the:
Supreme Court and High Court (Fees) Order 2005, S.I. 70 of 2005,
Circuit Court (Fees) Order 2004, S.I. 445 of 2004, and the
District Court (Fees) Order 2004, S.I. 446 of 2004.
I further wish to inform the Deputy that Registry of Deeds fees were increased from 1 May, 2008. Fee details are outlined in the Registry of Deeds (Fees) Order 2008, S.I. No. 51 of 2008.
