- Sommaire
1. Where an amount paid jointly in respect of several fees is insufficient, the question of whether the amount lacking is small within the meaning of Article 9(1), fourth sentence, of the Rules relating to Fees, must be resolved by reference to the total fee amount.
2. Application of Article 9(1), fourth sentence, of the Rules relating to Fees is not precluded by dint of the fact that the danger of a legal disadvantage resulting from insufficient payment of fees could be obviated by grant of re-establishment of rights or payment in due time of a surcharge.
3. An underpayment of about 10% may as a rule be considered as a small amount.
