If your trial or hearing is no longer required, you may be eligible for a refund of 75% of the setting down or hearing fee. This applies to fees paid to the registrar of the relevant Supreme Court or District Court registry.
How to request a refund
To request a refund, you must:
- Gather all necessary information:
- court name
- registry location
- case number
- plaintiff/applicant/appellant names
- scheduled date
- reason for cancellation
- confirmation that everyone involved in this case knows the trial or hearing isn’t needed.
- Complete and file Form 130 – Request for Fee Refund (DOC, 47.0 KB).
- Submit the form to the relevant court at least 10 business days before the first day of the trial or hearing either in person or via post.
Important information
- If you submit your request within 10 business days of the scheduled date, you usually won't get a refund.
- Refunds are processed after the trial or hearing has been delisted.
- Payments are made by cheque and take at least 14 days to process from the confirmation date.
