Provisions the documents cite: Schedule 1 fee 1.1(a)–(i) (fee on starting proceedings in the High Court or County Court to recover a sum of money) and the fee 1.1 notes (value not identified; interest counted)
What it requires
On starting proceedings in the High Court or County Court to recover a sum of money, the fee is £35 where the sum claimed does not exceed £300; £50 where it exceeds £300 but not £500; £70 over £500 up to £1,000; £80 over £1,000 up to £1,500; £115 over £1,500 up to £3,000; £205 over £3,000 up to £5,000; £455 over £5,000 up to £10,000; 5% of the value of the claim over £10,000 up to £200,000; and £10,000 where the claim exceeds £200,000 or is not limited (Schedule 1 fee 1.1). Where the claimant does not identify the value of the claim, the fee is the one for a claim where the sum is not limited; where interest is claimed on a specified sum, the fee is calculated on the total of the claim and the interest (fee 1.1 notes). Other fees (for example hearing and enforcement fees) and help with fees are outside this entry and not held. The Order extends to England and Wales.
