1981 c. 54. The Act’s title was amended by paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 11 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c. 4); section 133(4) was amended by paragraph 26(2) of Schedule 11 to that Act.
1986 c. 45. Section 414(1)(a) was amended by paragraph 23(2) of Schedule 3 to the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (c. 12). Section 415(1)(a) was amended by paragraph 9(3) of Schedule 20 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15) and paragraph 59(2)(a) of Schedule 19 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (c. 24) (“the 2013 Act”). Section 415(1A) was inserted by paragraph 59(3) of Schedule 19 to the 2013 Act.
2003 c. 39. Section 92(1) was amended by paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 11 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c. 4) and paragraph 40(a) of Schedule 9 and paragraph 95 of Schedule 10 to the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c. 22).
2014 c. 12 (“the 2014 Act”). Insofar as this instrument relies upon the power conferred by section 180(1), it does so only for the purposes of adjusting a fee to reflect changes in the value of money; therefore, in accordance with section 180(8) of the 2014 Act, section 180(7) of the 2014 Act does not apply (requirement that a statutory instrument to which section 180(7) applies may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before both Houses of Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House).
Section 92(5) was amended by paragraph 345 of Schedule 4 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c. 4).
Section 42(5) was amended by S.I. 2013/2042.
