EFIS 17, March 2005 : Civil Procedure

You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

The Family Proceedings (Fees) (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2005 will come into force at the start of the new financial year on 6th April.

These Rules increase the amount below which an applicant is entitled to claim Working Family Credit from �14,600 to �15,050.

Since EX160 notes refer to this old figure of �14,600, we have amended it to refer to the new figure of �15,050.

Practitioners should only use the new set of notes to complete form EX160 on or after 6th April and not before this date when the old figure of �14,600 is applicable.

We have also taken this opportunity to make some minor amendments to form EX160, which are not connected with these latest changes to the notes and so can be used immediately.

Forms affected

EX160	Application for Fee Exemption or Remission		New/Amended
EX160(N)	Notes for EX160		New/Amended
