The cost of a case has two parts. Court fees are charged under the Fees Law (No. 492) and, in most types of case, calculated in proportion to the value of the claim, with part payable up front when the action is filed. To that is added the expense advance deposited under Article 120 of the Code of Civil Procedure (No. 6100), which covers the expert, witness, site-inspection and service costs as the case proceeds.
The totals move with the value of the claim, the state of the evidence and whether an expert report will be needed. The figure worth holding onto is this: as a rule the party that wins recovers the fees and the expenses it paid from the other side. Before proceedings start we give you an itemised estimate and make the cost-and-benefit balance part of the strategic decision, so that cost stops being something that surprises you mid-case.
