In October I am delivering my new course – Getting the Retainer Right – in 10 cities – details and booking form here.
The fee on a Part 8 application for infant approval is £308 and not the fee payable on the issue of a Part 7 claim, or a Stage 3 portal claim.
Ministry of Justice guidance saying that the full fee applies to all Part 8 claims is wrong; it only applies to Stage 3 claims.
The court has itself suggested that:
“You may, in order to assist the court, specify that the Claim is for an infant settlement, in bold print.”
You may indeed.
I am grateful to Gordon Exall and his outstanding blog – Civil Litigation Brief – for the information in this piece. Here is the link to the longer post on this subject. The Correct Fee on a Part 8 Application: Don’t Let The Court Staff Make You Hand Over Money For Nothing
