FOIL Update – Court Fees for Part 20 Claims

• FOIL

The court fee for an additional claim has been a long-running problem for defendants. Although The Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008 makes it clear that the fee is £55, EX50 (the HMCTS leaflet used as guidance by court staff) has consistently indicated that the fee should be assessed in the same way as an initial issue fee, based on the value of the claim.
