court fees
Tribunal filing costs
Court fees are charges imposed by courts for processing legal matters—filing lawsuits, requesting hearings, obtaining copies of documents, or other administrative actions.
These fees vary by jurisdiction and case type.
Some courts waive fees for those who demonstrate financial hardship.
The court fees alone came to several hundred dollars before we even hired a lawyer.
