United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
These Regulations implement for England and Wales Council Directive 85/337/EEC of the 27th June 1985 (OJ No. L175, 5.7.85, p.4O) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, in respect of those proposals to construct new highways and to improve highways to which the Directive applies in so far as those proposals are those of the Secretary of State. The Regulations amend the Highways Act 1980. The effect of those amendments will be that in any case where the Secretary of State has under consideration the construction of a new highway or the improvement of an existing highway he shall determine before the date of publication of details of the project whether or not it requires an environmental assessment under the Council Directive. If the Secretary of State determines that the project does require such an assessment he shall publish an environmental statement and ensure that the public concerned (and if on completion of the project any part of the highway would lie on, or within 100 metres of, certain categories of land, also the appropriate environmental body) is given an opportunity to express an opinion before the project is initiated. The Secretary of State shall consider the environmental statement, any opinion expressed by a member of the public and, where obtained, by the appropriate environmental body, and publish his decision as to whether or not to initiate the project.

These Regulations amend the Highways (Traffic Calming) Regulations 1999 so as to prescribe requirements as to consultation and publicity with which a local highway authority must comply if works are to fall within section 90GA.

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
This Order introduces a revised scale of fees in respect of appeals and other proceedings (except devolution proceedings) before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The value of money has fallen by about 12% since the last change in 1996 but the majority of fees are increased by larger percentages than that, ranging from 38% to 66%. However, one fee is abolished and no change is made to the fees for originals and copies of Orders (except fee no. 8 which is brought into line with fee no. 11) or to the taxing fee.

United Kingdom Statutory Instrument
This Order amends the rules governing the taxation of bills of costs in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Commonwealth appeals. The new rule 75 adopts definitions of the “standard” and “indemnity” bases for taxing costs that are now used in the House of Lords. Under new rule 77, the Registrar’s notice to the parties will not in future specify a date for taxation but simply a date (usually three months ahead) within which the party that has been awarded its costs must lodge and serve its bill. The paying party will then have 21 days from receipt of the bill in which to lodge points of dispute (a procedure which is introduced in the Judicial Committee for the first time). It is only thereafter that a taxation appointment will be fixed. The new rule 79 specifies in more detail than before the procedure for an appeal against a Registrar’s taxation of costs, providing for a response by the other party and enabling the Judicial Committee to allow or dismiss an appeal against the taxation without a hearing. New rule 87 merely reproduces old rule 75(5).
