On October 1st 2021, a new bill on court fees, The Danish Court Fees Act ("Act"), entered into force and amended the previous Act on court fees, adopted in 1969. The general purpose of the new bill is to simplify existing rules on civil court fees, making the Act more comprehensible and applicable to private individuals as well as public entities. 

According to the former Act, The Danish Court Fees Act of 1969, civil court fees were calculated by adding a fixed fee and a variable fee determined by the size of the claim of the case. From October 1st 2021 the calculation of civil court fees will solely be based on fixed fees determined by the size of the claim as shown in the schedule below.
