The filing fee is the amount of money you have to pay to the court to start your legal proceedings. The amount of money you have to pay depends on the court and the nature of the case. You may have to pay a different registration fee at certain times in your case. The clerk can give you a list of all filing fees for your case so you know the total cost. Payment can be made by mail to the clerk of the Supreme Court of the district in which you were charged. Do not send cash by mail. Payments by mail should only be made by certified cheque, cashier`s cheque or money order. Personal cheques are not accepted. Make sure the payment is made to the clerk of the Superior Court of [X] County, where „[X]“ is the name of the county in which you were charged. If you send a payment to plead guilty by waiver, sign and date the written waiver on your quote and add it to the payment, or your case remains pending, and you must still attend your hearing date.
Court fees must be assessed for all types of cases before the courts, not just criminal cases. Christian Genetski, ESA`s general counsel, said, „We certainly think it`s unfortunate that California taxpayers are suffering the consequences“ of the state`s decision to pass the law. But he said the industry warned the governor at the time. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) did not sign the law because all courts that had dealt with similar laws considered it unconstitutional. Most (but not all) laws fixing court fees can be found in Chapter 7A, Article 28 of the General Statutes. In addition to court fees for criminal/counterfeiting cases, civil cases, estates and special proceedings, courts are required to charge fees for other services provided by the courts. For example, if you want photocopies of court records, the clerk must charge a fee per page for those copies. A table of these „different“ fees can be found here. Nine Jenner & Block lawyers brought in nearly $1.1 million in fees for their work in 2009 and 2010, led by veteran Supreme Court attorney Paul M. Smith. Smith, who represented the case in court, spent more than 321 hours on the case, at an hourly rate of $765. Just as the General Assembly determines the amount of legal fees in North Carolina, it also decides where the money goes.
Although several court fees laws state that the money is „intended to assist the court,“ most of the money collected does not remain in the hands of the courts and is not reserved for the use of the courts. The „total amount“ on the court fee schedule is only a portion of the total financial obligations that may be imposed in the court judgment after conviction if you are convicted of a crime or violation. Other costs in this table may also apply, such as additional fees if you did not appear during the proceedings, a daily fee to reimburse days spent in jail before your case is closed, and additional fees to convict certain types of crimes, such as impaired driving or inadequate equipment in a motor vehicle. Monetary obligations arising from criminal proceedings and infringement are due at the time of conviction, but in some cases payment may be delayed to a later date or paid over time. If your conviction results in a conditional sentence, payment can usually be made at any time during the probationary period. If your probation is monitored, your probation officer will discuss the expected payment schedule with you. For people who are not on probation, the court may grant an additional payment period, but this is entirely at the discretion of the judge. Note that if not all financial obligations are paid in full at sentencing, courts are required to charge an additional one-time fee of $20 to cover the costs of processing future state payments. Note that even if you are allowed to file your case penniless, the court will still have to track the fees owed, and they can be recovered at a later date. For example, if you are allowed to take a penniless lawsuit and you win a judgment for money, the court may require that the unpaid fees be collected from the money you recover from the other party. Ask your lawyer if court fees will be cancelled (cancelled or cancelled). If you don`t have a lawyer, you can always call your local legal aid office to see if they can help you waive court costs, or you can ask the judge to waive some or all of the court fees by filling out a form called a fee waiver application.
Each court has different rules, but you may be able to get a waiver of all or part of the court fees if: The parties received $276,000 (plus interest) from the state when they won their case at the district court level and $94,000 at the appellate court level. A spokeswoman said California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris had no comment on the request. And not all the bills have arrived yet. Costs for 2011 are still open; The application fee is included in this invoice. This depends on the nature of the violation and the local practices of the courts to respond to a non-payment (also known as „non-compliance“ or „FTC“).
