To issue a claim for something other than money, including possession, the following fees will be payable based on where you start your claim:
(PCOL can only be used for possessions concerning rent or mortgage arrears).
Certain non-money claims will attract the multi-track allocation, pre-trial checklist and hearing fees. You should check with the court to see if your case is affected.
There are a variety of other fees that may be applicable, depending on the action required. A complete up-to-date list is contained within the HMCTS EX50A leaflet. More information is also contained on the GOV.UK website.
You can make payment to the court by cash, cheque or postal order. Cheques and postal orders need to be made payable to HMCTS. Please note that courts can't accept payments by credit or debit cards.
Warning: If you do not pay the required fee, you may be unable to commence or continue with your claim.
The fee you will have to pay to the court will depend on the amount you are claiming, including interest. You will have to pay a court fee unless:
If you show that the payment of a court fee would involve undue hardship to you, the Court Manager may reduce the fee or 'remit' (say you do not have to pay) the fee.
