Court Fees Increase
Important Notice – Court Fees Increase on Monday, March 9th
6th March 2015
On Wednesday March 4th, the House of Lords approved the motion to increase court fees for civil claims. This was expected to take effect in April 2015 but has been revised and brought forwards.
The new fees are applicable from Monday, March 9th.
In Summary:
- Claims below £10,000: No change to the court fee
- Claims between £10,000 and £200,000: Court fee 5% of the value of the claim
- Claims above £200,000: Court fee capped at £10,000
The 5% will take into consideration the principle amount claimed (plus collection costs if applicable) and accrued interest.
