Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (Judicial Review) (England and Wales) Fees Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/2344).

It increases the fees payable on starting judicial review proceedings in the Upper Tribunal.

If the fee has been paid for a request to reconsider at a hearing a decision on permission to bring a judicial review and permission is subsequently granted at a hearing, only half of the judicial review fee is then payable.

A full impact assessment of the effects of these fee increases can be found at https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/court-fees-proposals-for-reform.
