If your account exceeds the tariff maximum, and you want to apply for discretion, attach the appropriate form when submitting the account:

• Request for Discretion – Criminal Law

• Request for Discretion – Family Law: Support, Access, Custody
• Request for Discretion – Refugee Law
• Request for Discretion – General: Use the general form for other case types

  If you are dissatisfied with the settlement of your account, use this form to request a review. Requests for review should be made within 60 days of payment of the account.
