I have invoiced a business for services and have not received payment after two months. If I serve them with court papers and they then make payment, who is liable for paying the court fees?
Hello Roger, the responsibility of paying court fees often depends on the jurisdiction and the court's decision. Generally, if you win the case, the court may order the defendant to pay your court fees. Can you please provide your location to give you more specific information?
