  • Changes to court fees from Monday 6 March 2017

    FYI [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION], not sure you have picked up on this yet?

    Civil Proceedings Fees (Amendment) Order 2016 - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2.../contents/made

    Where the court has fixed a trial date or trial period for a case allocated to the multi-track, the fee will remain £1,090. For the fast-track, the fee will remain £545. However, where the sum claimed in the small claims track:
    • Does not exceed £300, the fee will decrease from £35 to £25.
    • Exceeds £300 but does not exceed £500, the fee will increase from £50 to £55.
    • Exceeds £500 but does not exceed £1,000, the fee will increase from £70 to £80.
    • Exceeds £1,000 but does not exceed £1,500, the fee will increase from £80 to £115.
    • Exceeds £1,500 but does not exceed £3,000, the fee will increase from £115 to £170.
    • Exceeds £3,000, the fee is £335.


    The availability of refunds has been removed for these types of cases where they have been settled or discontinued.

    Where a trial fee is to be payable, it should not be refundable. It will need to be paid at least 28 days before the date of the hearing or 28 days before the Monday of the first week of the notified trial period, subject to two exceptions:

    • Where the court sets the main hearing date 36 days or less before the hearing (the explanatory memorandum reads 35 days).
    • Where a party has applied for a fee remission and that application is outstanding when the fee is due, but is then refused in full or part.
    If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you
