What are the costs involved in taking the matter to the Federal Circuit Court or Federal Court of Australia?
- The application fee is $55.00. If you cannot afford to pay that fee you can ask the court for an exemption or deferment of the payment.
- For fee exemption details you can visit http://www.fedcourt.gov.au/forms-and-fees/court-fees/exemptions or ask the court registry for the relevant form.
- The party that loses will generally have to pay the other party’s legal costs as well as their own.
This is the case regardless of whether you got an exemption for the application fee
