Court fee
The amount paid to the court to issue or continue a claim.
Definition
Court fees are charges set by the government that must be paid when you start or progress a court claim. The amount depends on the type of claim and its value. Fee remission (reduction or waiver) is available if you are on a low income or certain benefits.
In practice
Check the current fee table before issuing — fees change periodically. Keep your receipt as evidence that the claim was issued on a specific date.
