This Order amends Section 5 (Fees Payable in the Taxing Office) of the Court of Judicature Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 [ S.R. 1996 No. 100 ] so as to—

restrict the fee of 5% of the original bill submitted for taxation to a maximum fee of £3,500;

The Supreme Court Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 has been renamed the Court of Judicature Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 as a consequence of the renaming of the Supreme Court of Judicature of Northern Ireland by virtue of section 59 and paragraph 6 of Schedule 11 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c.4) .
