Court fees in administrative courts

A large part of the decisions of the administrative court are chargeable, in which case they are subject to a legal charge.

If a person has been granted legal aid, he or she does not need to pay a court fee. The fee shall also not be charged if the administrative court amends the decision of the lower authority in favour of the appellant.

In addition, the court fee is not levied on, for example, most matters relating to social and health services brought by a private individual or on appeals concerning basic income. Matters under the Child Welfare Act and the Mental Health Act are also dealt with in administrative courts free of charge, as are matters concerning international protection under the Aliens Act and complaints concerning general elections.

In appeals against a matter decided by the Market Court, the fee shall be equal and determined on the basis of the same criteria as in the Market Court.

Administrative courts

EUR 270.

A court fee shall not be charged if the administrative court amends the decision under appeal in favour of the appellant, i.e. accepts the appellant's claims.
