The Court Fees Bill
New bill would change court fees for domestic abuse victims
Provides relative to court costs and fees in domestic abuse cases
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would change how court costs are handled in domestic abuse cases, affecting who pays the fees.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Victims could see lower fees or state help paying court costs, making it easier to seek protection, but the bill’s details are still unclear, so we need to watch it.
