Tomlin Orders – is there a court fee?

[DonkeyB]

Morning all. Quick question – does a County Court levy any fee to seal a Tomlin Order? If so, how much?

[maroondevo52]

Pinched this from Bankfodder.......

 

No fee. The order is not filed. It is agreed between the parties in advance and then approved by the judeg with the parties present.

 

Think that was what you were looking for but don't take my word for it.

[DonkeyB]

Yeah, some nasty solicitor is claiming it costs quite a lot to have the court seal a TO. Just getting a view from the court...

[DonkeyB]

Thanks maroondevo, just thought I’d ask as Bankfodder’s post was rather old.

[DonkeyB]

Apparently it’s £45!

[maroondevo52]

Do you need a sub ??? we can have a whip round

[DonkeyB]

I’d prefer a nuclear submarine, armed and ready to fire at certain dodgy companies...

Yes..I had a Consent Order which I believe is the same thing and the court wanted £45, and I split the costs with the other side.

Tomlin Orders, have a number of forms, such as a administrative order,that is to say, it is not signed by a judge,it is simply placed on the court file in a sealed state. It is a matter of agreement between the parties what form of Tomlin order is used.

 

It should be remembered that a Tomlin order is a contract/ agreement between the parties, it is not a court order, the courts involvement is administrative,the order is the agreement between the parties to stay the proceedings pending compliance with the form and detail of the Tomlin order agreed at which point when the terms have been fully complied with,then the order and action become extinguished.

 

The fees of the court for its process in the Tomlin Order is £45,00, The same as for any general application made upon a court.

This thread is 3 years old!

 

And the Court fee is now £50.

Incorrect wayfwrd it is an order of the court...and must be approved by a DJ

I did some reading up on T/O's a while back, if I remember I think a court can seal the T/O as an administrative process provided both parties are represented by a solicitor. If one party is a LiP the Order has to be placed before a DJ for approval.
