| In addition to the above there is an allocation fee of £100 which must be paid by the Claimant if the claim is over £1,500 and is set down to be heard by the District Judge. This is usually when a defence is filed by the defendant. There is no allocation fee for claims below £1,500. The allocation fee is added to the claim but please be aware that even if the Court finds judgment in favour of the Claimant there is no guarantee that the award will be collected. The Defendant may be without funds or untraceable. In such cases the fees are lost! |

Enforcing judgments |
|
Having obtained a judgment against the Defendant it is necessary to instruct the Court to collect the sum awarded. Such enforcement proceedings will involve a further fee - which is added to the claim. If bailiffs are appointed the fee is £30.00 for sums not more than £125.00 or £50.00 for sums above £125.00.
There are other ways of enforcing judgments such as Attachment of Earnings orders, Third Party Debt Orders orders and Charging orders - all of which require a Court fee of £50.00.
Should you decide to issue a Bankruptcy or Winding Up Petition the fee will be £150.00.
The above fees are added to your claim. |
