Will the court pay the legal fees by SMS?

Legal analysis: If a case is filed on the spot, a notice of payment will generally be issued immediately. If the case is filed online, the court will generally receive an electronic payment notice from the online filing system within three to five days after reviewing the materials. It depends on how the filing system of the local court works.

Legal basis: Article 118 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). When a party conducts a civil lawsuit, it shall pay the case acceptance fee in accordance with the regulations. In addition to paying the case acceptance fee, property cases also pay other litigation fees in accordance with regulations. If it is really difficult for the parties to pay the legal fees, they may apply to the people's court for deferment, reduction or exemption in accordance with regulations. Measures for charging litigation fees shall be formulated separately.
