How the Data Is Kept Up to Date
Each file is built from the module its tool reads, so when a fee, rate or table changes on the site, the download changes with it. Sources are re-checked monthly, and the waiting times follow each quarterly Ministry of Justice release. See how we check our guides and tools. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
