Whenever you put in an application, you may be required to pay a hearing fee. This includes when you make a counterclaim. If there is more than one party that makes an application or claim related to the same case, the hearing fees are shared between those parties. This means you only need to pay a portion of the full hearing fee for your fee category type. The portion you pay depends on how many parties make a claim. For example, if there are three parties who make an application: a corporate fee payer - who pays one third of the corporate fee a standard fee payer - who pays one third of the standard fee; and a concession fee payer - who pays one third of the concession fee.
