Enter a claim amount.

How the fee works

The issue fee is banded by claim value — the full official table is on the small claims guide. You may reclaim the fee from the defendant if you win, and can apply for help with fees (EX160) on a low income.

What the claim amount should be

The total from your schedule of loss — remedial cost + consequential losses − amounts already recovered. Nothing guessed.
