Asking for money from the courtGoing to court to file a lawsuit costs money. The parties need to pay litigation fees to the People's Court. It also costs money to find a lawyer. However, consulting a lawyer to discuss the lawsuit requires a consulting fee. Yes, it is necessary to pay certain litigation fees to sue others or companies in court and protect personal rights and interests. The fees charged by the People's Court are often fair and appropriate. According to Articles 6, 8, and 10 of the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Fees in People's Courts": When the People's Court accepts civil litigation, the plaintiff who initiates the lawsuit generally pays the case acceptance fee in advance, and the plaintiff pays the litigation fee in advance upon receipt from the People's Court. The litigation fees must be paid in advance within 7 days from the next day on the notice. If the defendant files a counterclaim, the counterclaimant shall submit the counterclaim in advance when submitting it to the People's Court. If both parties file an appeal, the parties to the appeal shall submit their respective prepayments. In litigation activities, the expenses involved mainly include (non-property/property) case acceptance fees, other litigation expenses (if any), and attorney fees (if required), that is, litigation costs. After the people's court accepts a lawsuit filed by a party, it will charge a case acceptance fee based on the type and standard of the case. If the court really needs other fees for the case during the case handling process or when handling other matters, it will also charge corresponding litigation fees. If a party has difficulty paying the case acceptance fee in advance, he or she may apply to the People's Court for a postponement of payment within the advance payment period. If the party concerned fails to pay the case acceptance fee and appeal fee within the prepayment period and fails to apply for deferral of payment, the case will be automatically dismissed. Who will bear the litigation fees will be decided based on the circumstances of the trial after the case is completed.
