(753)  COURT FEE INCREASE CONSULTATION

The Scottish Courts Service is consulting on proposals to increase court fees (as well as fees relating to the Office of the Public Guardian).  The highest proposed fee increases would be for Court of Session actions, while the registration of powers of attorney with the Office of Public Guardian would see the lowest increases.  The consultation document is at http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/CourtFees/Fee_Review_Consultation.pdf and the consultation period closes on 6th May 2008.
