c. Creditor’s deposit on a winding up petition increases from £715 to £1,000.
d. No change to bankruptcy case administration fee.
e. Increase from £2,160 to £2,235 of the company winding up case administration fee.
f. Restructuring of the Secretary of State (SoS) fee where the percentages charged on
asset realisations that are defined as chargeable receipts will be increased (see
