The Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) has launched a consultation on a proposed fee regime for the revamped Court of Protection established under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The court makes decisions in relation to the property and affairs and personal welfare of people who lack capacity. DCA minister Baroness Cathy Ashton said: 'One of the aims of these reforms is to provide more transparency about the services for which people's fees are paying. The fees proposed will not pass on the full cost of these services to the people using them, as they have not been set at a level to recover the full costs of providing these services.' The consultation paper looks at four areas of proposed fees: the registration of enduring and lasting powers of attorney and register searches; the court reporting service; fees in respect of the Court of Protection; and fees relating to deputies and their supervision.
