Legal costs — Updating of the quality manual in the field of forensic expertise by the Federal Public Service Justice
SPF Justice
In Belgium, since 1 January 2020, each judicial district has had a “court costs office” responsible for the processing and payment of court costs.
The aim of this general quality manual on legal costs in criminal matters can be summarized as follows:
- an efficient and high quality response to the questions that may arise from the application of the new rules ;
- a uniform application of the rules, thus ensuring equal treatment for all persons concerned, whatever the jurisdiction;
- the introduction and imposition of standards and methods known to all;
- the correct management, optimization and dissemination of work processes in order to contribute to a quality result for all parties concerned.
An update was made in September 2020, a complete document in French and Dutch to be downloaded below
