Local Rule AP 2.11: Refund of Fees Paid Electronically
D.N.H. — General rule
2.11 Refund of Fees Paid Electronically
(a) Applicability. Consistent with the Judicial Conference guidance on the refund of fees that are paid electronically, the clerk's office may refund electronic payments made when no payment was required, when duplicative of previous payments made, or when the amount submitted exceeds the actual amount owed for the transaction.
(b) Delegation of Authority. Although the authority to approve or deny a refund is a judicial determination, the initial determination is delegated to the clerk. All requests for refund of fees paid electronically shall be made on the Request for Refund of Filing Fee form or Request for Refund of Attorney Admission Fee form, as appropriate, which are available on the court's public website. This form may be submitted by email or filed conventionally. Persons denied a refund by the clerk may seek judicial review by electronically filing a motion for refund. If a motion for refund is filed in an unassigned case, it will be reviewed by the chief judge.
(c) Refund Processing. Refunds shall be processed through the electronic credit or debit card system.
