Court Fees

Exemption from Court fees applies only to habeas corpus proceedings, proceedings under the Extradition Act 1965, bail applications and proceedings in a criminal case by way of Certiorari or Mandamus.

In all other cases the fees at present chargeable pursuant to the Supreme Court and High Court(Fees) Order 1986 are £6 in respect of filing an Affidavit and an additional £17 in respect of an originating ex-parte application.

The specific nature of the Order sought will need to be ascertained to establish whether proceedings by way of Judicial Review are exempt from Court fees. It should be noted that proceedings by way of prohibition are not exempt even in criminal cases.
