224. Except in penal matters, the Government shall fix the tariff of court costs and court office fees. It may, in a tariff, prescribe costs and fees varying according to whether they are payable by a natural person or a legal person, or determine what persons, departments or bodies are exempt from the payment of costs or fees or which proceedings, documents or services are covered by an exemption.
Where a tariff established in accordance with the first paragraph prescribes that court costs or court office fees must be paid for the filing or issue of a proceeding or other document or for the performance of a service, no such proceeding or document may be filed with a court or a judicial officer or issued by the latter and no such service may be performed unless the costs or fees have been paid. However, if the amount of the costs and fees is determined by the clerk after the filing of a proceeding or other document, the proceeding or document may be filed if the costs or fees are paid not later than two working days after the notification of a notice indicating their amount.
The date of filing and, where applicable, the date of payment and the amount of the costs and fees must be affixed to the proceeding, the document or a document filed with it.
The Government may also establish a tariff for the taking down and copying or transcription of the depositions which have been stenographed or recorded in any other manner he authorizes before a court or a judicial officer.
