Money Claims
Claims for money should be issued in the County Court Money Claims Centre, which is a centralised hub that deals with all claims for the recovery of money. It is also possible to issue money claims via Money Claims Online, an online portal for very simple cases that offers slightly reduced court fees.
Non-money claims
The cost of issuing a claim for something other than money will depend on where the claim is issued and the type of claim that it is.
Generally speaking, the court fees for the County Court and High Court are £280 and £480 respectively but there are some exceptions.
For example, possession of land claims, insolvency claims and Appeals, have specific court fees attached to them – and again may have to be issued in a particular court.
