The Gazette 1958-61

transacted on or after ist February, 1960.

The

increase does not apply to

(1) items 89 and 90 in the schedule of rules of

1924 which may however be increased to the

sums of £i and £15, respectively.

(2) the fixed costs of resumption proceedings

under the Appeal Tribunal Rules, 1934 (S.R.

& O. 1934, No. 26).

It should however be noted that the last mentioned

scale provides an amount of elasticity which enables

the Tribunal to direct the exercise by the Taxing

Master of a discretion to exceed the scale in suitable

cases and members should bear this in mind when

appearing

in person or

instructing counsel

resumption proceedings.

The effect of the order

is that item charges now stand at 87.5 per cent, over

pre-war figures.
