FREE OR REDUCED COURT, TRIBUNAL AND PROBATE FEES: BIG CHANGES

The 'Help with Fees' scheme gets a major overhaul on 27 November 2023. It enables those who cannot afford court and certain tribunal fees (probate fees also included!) to be exempted from payment or have the amount of the fee reduced. Some may benefit from applying for Help before the overhaul: others may benefit from waiting. An application for Help cannot be made before proceedings are started.

To start a case quickly or wait? I will endeavour to answer that one in my new free video coming up here shortly.
