COUNTY COURTS

This Order amends the Family Proceedings Fees Order 1999 so as to replace references to family credit and disability working allowance with references to working families' tax credit and disabled person’s tax credit, following the changes made by the Tax Credits Act 1999. A recipient of one of these tax credits will be exempt from court fees provided that the amount to be deducted from the weekly maximum allowance does not exceed £70. Those in receipt of family credit or disability working allowance under a decision made before the coming into force of the Order will continue to be exempt from court fees.
