APPENDIX D — COURT-APPROVED FEE SCHEDULE
Section D-8. Void assessments and refunds
Void
The Clerk must void an unpaid assessment when:
the associated case or filing is rejected and the ECMS provides for voiding;
the assessment is an exact duplicate;
no positive amount was lawfully adopted;
the filing or role was miscoded by Court staff;
the fee resulted solely from verified ECMS malfunction; or
law otherwise requires.
Refund
The Clerk must refund a paid amount when it was:
collected without an adopted lawful amount;
collected twice;
calculated from an incorrect Court-assigned code;
collected after waiver or exemption; or
required to be returned by law or Court order.
Withdrawal, settlement, or voluntary dismissal does not alone require refund after the service was rendered. A denial must state reasons and identify review by motion under Rule 6(f).
