Court of Protection: Students
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will exempt full time students from paying Court of Protection Fees.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
There are currently no fee exemptions in the courts and tribunals system based on student status. The Help with Fees scheme is available to ensure that court users who may be unable to afford a court fee are not denied access to justice. Full time students may be eligible for full or partial remission of fees in the Court of Protection if they have low savings and are in receipt of qualifying benefits, or are on a low income. Student loans are excluded from the calculation when determining eligibility for fee remission.
