Fee remissions for the courts and tribunals
This consultation sets our proposals for reform of the fee remissions system for courts and tribunal services, which ensures access to justice is maintained for those individuals on lower incomes.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
The objective of these reform proposals is to create a single system of fee remissions (waivers) for all fee paying courts and tribunals which is simple to use, more cost efficient and better targeted to those who need it the most.
The consultation is aimed at groups and individuals who have an interest in access to justice in the civil courts in England and Wales, a range of tribunals which operate in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the UK wide Gender Recognition Panel and the UK Supreme Court.
