7 This column shows the fee under GC 70613.5 for a filing increasing the amount at issue in a limited civil case from $10,000 or less to more than $10,000. The fee reflects the incremental amount that the first paper fee for a case with more than $10,000 at issue exceeds the first paper fee for a case with $10,000 or less at issue. 8 These uniform filing fees apply to both first paper filings and response filings in limited, unlimited, family law and probate cases. 9 Under the Uniform Civil Fee legislation, the standard distributions to the State Court Facilities Construction Fund are $20, $25 and $35 depending on the level and type of filing.
