Yes, litigation can be costly. In our country, the legal costs are actually lower than in many European countries. However, depending on the type, duration and value of the case, the costs may be substantial. You need to prepare for this and learn about the possible costs in advance. During the litigation process, the costs are taken from the person who filed the lawsuit as a rule.
Initial litigation expenses are divided into two main items as fees and expense advances.
The fee is the money fully paid to the State at the time of filing the lawsuit. While the fee is charged as a fixed amount in a limited number of lawsuits, in many types of lawsuits it is charged proportionally, that is, with a certain percentage over the value of the thing that is the subject of the lawsuit, and the higher this value, the higher the relative fee you have to pay. .
Advance expenses, on the other hand, include a number of sub-items such as the expenses of notification to the witnesses and parties, the fee to be paid to the witnesses, the expenses of the expert in the case types where the file will go to the expert in the following stages, the expenses of the discovery if there is a case of going to the discovery.
