This document serves as the formal legal instrument making the changes, not as the updated fee table itself."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008","history":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/civil-process-table-of-fees-for-execution-amendment-rules-2008/documents"}}
