Flat fees, published — never a share of the dispute
Pricing for disputes
The claimant pays one flat case fee, set by the value in dispute and known before the case opens. Responding is free. The venue's fee is never a percentage of the amount — a venue with a stake in the outcome isn't neutral.
Up to £1,500
Deposit rows, unpaid invoices, undelivered goods. Court fee alone for this bracket: £35–£115 — before the months of waiting.
£1,500 – £10,000
The classic too-small-to-litigate zone: half-finished projects, disputed scope, agency invoices. Court fee: £115–£455, plus months.
£10,000 – £25,000
Serious money, still uneconomic to fight. Mediation typically starts around £500 per party — without a decision at the end.
What the case fee includes
- Responding is free. The other side pays nothing to submit their statement and evidence, within a generous allowance — a venue the respondent has to pay to enter isn't one they'll enter.
- Evidence, within fair use. Statements, documents, images, and files per the published limits on the case page — no meter running while you upload.
- A reasoned determination in minutes once the record closes, under the Standard Rules and published doctrine.
Appeals and human escalation
Appeal — 2× the case fee, paid by the appellant. An appeal is a full re-hearing by a panel of three independent frontier models from different labs, with a presiding synthesis that records concurrence and dissent — deliberately more deliberation than first instance.
Human escalation — quoted per case. Where the Rules escalate a case to the human bench (Rule 12), review is included; where a party requests optional human adjudication, it is quoted before anyone commits.
Fees in GBP; equivalents apply for cases in other currencies. Fees are per the published rate at case opening and never contingent on the outcome (Rule 16).
