Amendments to the Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule - Effective December 01, 2014.

At its September 2014 session, the Judicial Conference approved amendments to the Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, which go into effect December 1, 2014.

Fee Changes:

• Approved an increase to the fee assessed when a direct appeal is accepted by a court of appeals, from $157 to $207 and approved two amendments to the Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.
   
• $25 Fee - Filing a Motion to Redact Filing per Rule 9037(a). The fee is intended to be charged for each affected case, but courts may waive the fee under appropriate circumstances.
   
• The Conference also endorsed a new exception to the reopening fee for a closed bankruptcy case to clarify that the reopening fee does not apply if redaction is the only purpose for reopening the case.
