Small claims court fees vary depending on the amount of the claim and the jurisdiction, but typically include an initial court fee and a hearing fee if the case proceeds to court. For example, in England and Wales:

• For claims up to £300, the court fee is £35 and the hearing fee is £27.
• For claims from £300.01 to £500, the court fee is £50 and the hearing fee is £59.
• For claims up to £10,000, fees increase progressively, with the highest listed court fee being £455 for claims between £5,000.01 and £10,000, and a hearing fee of £346.

If you win your case, the court fees are typically refunded. If you lose, you usually do not get the fees back and may have to pay some expenses for the other side. There is also the possibility of applying for a fees remission if you have a low income or receive benefits. Appeals have an additional fee (e.g., £142 in the small claims process in England and Wales). In Ontario, Canada, fees for filing claims in Small Claims Court start at $108 for infrequent claimants and $228 for frequent claimants, with additional fees for other procedures like filing defenses, requests for hearings, and issuing summonses. Fees and procedures may vary significantly in other regions or countries. These figures give a general guide, but specific fees depend on the jurisdiction and claim details.
