Use the current official form: This guide explains the role of Form F71.1 under Rule 16-2(4). Always check the current Rules and official form before filing, serving or relying on a deadline.
What Form F71.1 is for
Itemizes expenses claimed for assessment where the Supreme Court Family Rules require a list of expenses.
Key points
- F71.1 is for expenses; it is distinct from F71, the Bill of Costs under the tariff.
- The form provides columns for the amount claimed and amount allowed.
- Keep invoices, receipts and other supporting records organized; under Rule 16-2(6), a registrar may order further particulars or details of the list being assessed.
Practical steps
- List each expense clearly and accurately.
- Keep supporting invoices/receipts organized.
- Use F71 for tariff costs and F71.1 for expenses where relevant.
- Follow the Rule 16 assessment process and any registrar directions.
Common mistakes
- Mixing tariff items into the expense list.
- Failing to keep enough detail or supporting records to explain a disputed expense.
- Confusing F71.1 with the final F72 certificate.
