Changes to Provincial Court fees went into effect on July 1st. User fees are charged for a number of services such as photocopying, processing applications for records, suspensions, or issuing a summons for Small Claims Court. The ministry of Justice completed an extensive review of fees including looking at what fees are charged in other provinces. The Ministry says that, although some fees have been revised over the years, the regulations have not been changed since 1988. Justice Minister Don Morgan says, “The introduction of new fees and changes to existing fees will better reflect the cost of the services being provided.” Payments for court fees can be made in person with cash, debit, cheque, money order or credit card. They can be paid over the phone with a credit card. For more information: www.sasklawcourts.com
