Fees and costs
Like the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords, The Supreme Court will play an important role in the development of the common law by selecting only cases that include an element of wider public interest.
The Treasury recognises that The Supreme Court’s rulings benefit not only the immediate parties to the case, but also everyone who uses the United Kingdom’s civil justice system.
As a result, the costs of dealing with civil cases in The Supreme Court will be shared across users of The Supreme Court and all litigants bringing civil cases in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. The Scottish government will also make a contribution.
The fees payable in The Supreme Court can be found on the OPSI website.
