How much does a labour court case cost?
The costs of proceedings before the labour courts are made up of legal fees (if a lawyer is appointed) and court costs. If the parties reach a settlement during a conciliation hearing or if the action is withdrawn before the motions are filed, no court costs are incurred. Each party must pay their own legal fees.
