This Act of Sederunt provides for regulations to apply to the charging of fees by, and for fees of, Sheriff Officers and revokes the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Sheriff Officers) 1990 and the Acts of Sederunt which amended it.

The only amended regulation is regulation 5 which now allows the charging, as an outlay, of any recorded delivery costs exclusive of postage in respect of items 1(b) and 1(c) in the Table of Fees in this Act of Sederunt. This cost was formerly included as an element of the fees for items 1(b) and 1(c) in the Table of Fees and that element (30 pence, being the cost of recorded delivery exclusive of postage prior to the increase levied by the Post Office in June 1993) has now been removed from those fees.

The fees in the Table of Fees in the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Sheriff Officers) 1990 (as amended) have been increased by about 2.75%. The last increase was in the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Sheriff Officers) 1993.
