This Order amends the Court of Judicature (Non-Contentious Probate) Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 (S.R. 1996 No. 104) to increase the fees to be taken in non-contentious probate proceedings over a two year period (9% increase effective from 1st November 2023, with a further 9% increase effective from 1st October 2024) and to include a fee for a certified or sealed copy of any document. The Supreme Court (Non-Contentious Probate) Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 has been renamed the Court of Judicature (Non-Contentious Probate) Fees Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 as a consequence of the renaming of the Supreme Court of Judicature of Northern Ireland by virtue of section 59 and paragraph 6 of Schedule 11 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.
