As amended through September 23, 2024
Rule 5.13 - COLLECTION OF FEES(a) The e-filing of a document requiring payment of a statutory filing fee to the Clerk of the Court in order to achieve valid filing status shall be filed electronically in the same manner as any other e-file document.(b) Approved vendors shall electronically transmit to the Clerk's bank account all statutory filing fees required for electronic filings. The vendor shall electronically provide the Clerk's Accounting Department a detailed breakdown including transaction identifier and/or case number, type of transaction and party being billed for the payment for each deposit. The vendor shall act as a limited agent for the Clerk and collect such required filing fees from the subscriber through direct billing of that subscriber, unless the payment of the fee has been waived by court order or law.(c) Fees charged to e-filing subscribers by the vendor for vendor services are solely the property of the vendor and are in addition to any statutory fees associated with statutory filing fees.(d) Copies of any document or certification of same shall be available to the requesting party at a reasonable cost, including all applicable fees as set by rule or statute.(e) In the event the Court orders a monetary refund from any e-file transaction, the amount refunded will be less any credit card or vendor fees that may have been charged by an e-filing vendor. The Circuit Clerk shall refund upon order of Court only the amount that has been received from the e-File vendor.Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 5.13
