Court Fees are payable in connection with the commencement of certain Insolvency processes and during an insolvency process (usually in relation to defended proceedings against respondents commenced by insolvency practitioners). We set out below the current court fees that are payable in a variety of typical situations that will be encountered in insolvency matters.

This Practice Note does not set out the court fees payable in respect of any claims issued under CPR 7 or CPR 8.

The court fees payable are set out in the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008, SI 2008/1053, as amended, the latest amendment being by the Court and Tribunal Fees (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2025, SI 2025/351 from 8 April 2025.

The numbers in the left-hand columns of the tables below refer to the paragraph numbers contained in the Schedule to the Civil Proceedings Fees Order 2008, SI 2008/1053.

Cheques should be made payable to 'HM Courts & Tribunals Service' or 'HMCTS' and the court should be contacted in the event there is any doubt as to the Fee payable.
