Appellants filing cases in the Supreme and Appellate Courts will pay a filing fee of $50 instead of $25. Appellees will see filing fees increase from $15 to $30.
Under Public Act 98-0324, fees collected by the Clerks of the Supreme and Appellate Courts will be set by Supreme Court Rule, rather than by statute. Further, those fees will now be placed in the “Supreme Court Special Purposes Fund,” which will be used for e-business projects, including upgrading the case management system.
