Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order corrects two errors in the Table of Fees which the Court of Session etc. Fees Amendment Order 1992 substituted in the Court of Session etc. Fees Order 1984. Fees in respect of 2 categories of writs in proceedings in the Court of Session were increased in error from £40 to £73. This Order corrects that error.
