None of the charges shown in these examples are due from the debtor following a landmark ruling which says that charges going beyond the standardised fee schedules should require the court's sanction to be certain the fees are lawful: Bernard Loynes v Beswicks Solicitors [2010] Queens Bench Division .
Also, a further case precedent has decided that fees and costs are only permissible if they are for work that was VERIFIABLY and JUSTIFIABLY undertaken: Haydon v Barton [1849] 5 Ir LR 410 Ex. They must show what work has been done if charging unregulated fees: Davies v Edmonds [1841] 7 M&W 413 / 9 Dowl 221. Non-statutory charges benefiting the bailiff or another might not be lawful: Lumsden v Burnett [1898] 2 QB 177.
If a debtor can opt to recover the bailiff's fees that have been paid under protest in a civil court claim, see: Veale v Atwood [1833] The Times February 2, 5g, CP. All unlawful fees are recoverable: Day v Davies [1938] 2 KB 74.
