It changes what users (litigants, lawyers, businesses and government bodies) pay to use the Court and how the Court collects revenue.\n\nWhy it matters: raising, lowering or reclassifying fees directly alters the cost of bringing or defending proceedings, shifts incentives about settlement and procedure, and affects the Court’s administrative revenue and recovery of costs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026","history":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026/history","analysis":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/supreme-court-amendment-scale-of-fees-rules-2026/documents"}}
