The court fee increases for starting proceedings for the recovery of land (possession claims) and for making general applications look set to rise on Monday 21 March 2016. The proposed increases were announced by the Ministry of Justice in January 2015 as part of a consultation on court fees and were confirmed in July 2015. The Statutory Instrument (SI) bringing the changes into force is currently in draft but we understand that it will come into force on Monday 21 March 2016. We will be updating our content to reflect these changes when the SI has been published. [Update: the SI confirms that the fee rise is in force as of 21 March 2016].
