In addition to the costs that Oracle Law solicitors will incur, it is common in most cases for you to also incur what is known as “disbursements”. These are expenses which may be incurred in your case for payments to third parties. For example, the most common disbursement are legal fees to be paid to a barrister who may provide you with an advice and/or appear for you at a hearing in court. We will only instruct a barrister with your express authority and we will provide you with an estimate of their costs in addition to our costs before doing so.

Other disbursements which are commonly incurred are filing fees which are payable to the court (which can vary from $60.00 to over $1,000.00). Fees may also be payable to experts, who may give an opinion to assist your case. For example, it may be necessary to obtain an opinion from a doctor, in which case you will be liable to pay the doctor’s fee. Again, any disbursements to be incurred to third parties, will be advised to you beforehand for your authority.
