Merger of Courts and Tribunal Services

30 March 2011

Her Majesty's Court Service and the Tribunals Service will merge as of 1 April 2011. They will become a new, single organisation known as HM Courts and Tribunals Service.

 

This re-organisation and amalgamation of the administrative functions is expected to make the Court Service more effective and efficient. 

 

As a result of this change, which take effect as of 1 April 2011, payment of court fees by cheque or postal order should be made payable to HM Courts and Tribunals Service.

 

The Dispute Resolution team at Howell-Jones LLP can provide advice and guidance on all aspects of the court service, including these forthcoming changes.
