Clause 42
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill
3:15 pm

There is no intention of having any different priority from that which applies generally in the courts service. The Government do not believe that fees should be charged if they are likely to cause financial hardship. Affirmative resolutions would be needed before fees could be charged for the first time in respect of any matter, so there will be ample opportunity to discuss them if necessary.
