Excerpt from Report of the Lord Chancellor's Supreme Court Fee Committee: Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty

My Lord,

For the purpose of considering the matters referred to us by your Lordship's Minute of Appointment, we have held 40 meetings. At our meetings we have had the advantage of hearing the views of a number of the Officers of the Supreme Court with regard to the fees charged in respect of the proceedings in their several offices and we have also examined the returns of the Receipts and Expenditure of the Supreme Court and the Civil Judicial Statistics relating to England and Wales which are laid before Parliament year by year.

We now have the honour to submit to your Lordship the following: -

Report.

1. The Order as to Supreme Court Fees, dated the 19th January, 1884, was made pursuant to Section 26 of the Judicature Act, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. ch. 77). That section as amended by the Statute Law Revision Act, 1883 (46 & 47 Vict, ch. 39), and the Lunacy Act, 1890 (53 Vict. ch. 5), provides as follows: -

26. "The Lord Chancellor, with the advice and consent of the Judges of the Supreme Court or any three of them, and with the concurrence of the Treasury, may, by order, fix the fees and percentages, to be taken in the High Court or in the Court of Appeal, or in any Court created by any commission or in any Office which is connected with any of those Courts or in which any business connected with any of those Courts is conducted,
