Season 2 Ep. 21 Cost of Going to Court

In Episode 21 of The Vicca Law Podcast, Lidia Vicca breaks down the financial realities of going to court in Queensland and why litigation is often far more costly than people anticipate. This episode focuses on the Magistrates, District, and Supreme Courts, explaining how the expense of legal proceedings arises not from a single court appearance but from a lengthy process governed by the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (UCPR). Lidia explores how pre-court preparation, compliance with procedural rules, document drafting, and multiple stages of legal argument all contribute to the cost of litigation. Listeners will gain insight into how legal fees, court filing costs, expert reports, and prolonged timelines can significantly impact the overall expense of resolving a dispute through the court system. Whether you're considering initiating a claim or responding to one, this episode provides valuable perspective on why it's essential to understand—and plan for—the full financial implications of court proceedings.
