How to recover the costs of legal aid

  1. Preliminary estimate. With the first statement on the merits, file a preliminary estimate of the court costs. Without it the court may refuse to award them, except the court fee (Art. 134 CPC).
  2. Detailed statement of work. To split the costs, a party files a detailed statement of the work done by the advocate and of the advocate’s expenses (Art. 137(3) CPC, Art. 126(3) Commercial PC, Art. 134(4) CAJ).
  3. Proportion. The costs must be in proportion to the complexity of the case, the time spent, the volume of work and the value of the claim or the importance of the case to the party (Art. 137(4) CPC).
  4. Who proves it. The court cuts the costs only at the request of the other party, and that party proves that they are out of proportion (Art. 137(5), (6) CPC).
  5. Term for the evidence. The evidence of the costs is filed before the end of the court debates, or within five days after the decision if the party said so before the end of the debates. Otherwise the application is left without consideration (Art. 141(8) CPC, Art. 129(8) Commercial PC, Art. 139(7) CAJ).
  6. What to attach. The legal aid agreement, the detailed statement of work, the act and the proof of payment or the invoice to pay.
