Rule 5080-1 FEES – GENERAL
(a) General Rule. Neither the Clerk nor a Judge has the authority to permit refund of fees due upon filing except for fees collected without authority or due to administrative error on the part of the clerk's office. Refunds will not be permitted if a party files a document in error, even if the Court dismisses the case or proceeding or denies the relief requested.
(b) Requests for Refund. All requests for the refund of the payment of fees collected without authority or due to administrative error on the part of the clerk's office shall be by written motion. If granted, refunds will be processed through the electronic credit card system. Repeated refund requests may result in an order to show cause why further requests for refunds should be considered.
