Your fee scale will be updated with the new Court fees in due course. Please note that, importantly, the majority of the above Court fees will be passed to the Defendant for payment throughout the course of the Court proceedings.
We will be undertaking our annual fee scale review shortly and will be in touch with any further changes.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
