HB 1113 – Another court fee

House Bill 1113 – Another court fee. Raises the small claims filing fee another $5 and, charges $10 for each additional defendant added to the case. Can’t say I like that. I file between 600-800 small claims cases per year. Keeping track of the fees will be burdensome for me. I’m guessing many of the courts will have a bit of trouble as well. The bill appears to be silent on the question of whether I can collect all of the costs from one defendant if that’s the poor schlub I find with a bank account or a job. My guess is that I can. Anyway, the bill passed the House 67-27.
