Fee changes coming to provincial court services

Fees are changing for services provided by Saskatchewan’s provincial courts.

After a review by the Ministry of Justice — which looked at rates charged in other provinces and the cost of providing services — fees will be modified for things like photocopying and name searching.

The Provincial Court Fees Regulations have not changed since 1988. While prices for some services have been revised since then, the province said overall, fees have not kept up with costs.

Payments for court fees can be made in person with cash, debit, cheque, money order or credit card. Credit card information will be accepted over the phone.
