Re: Fee,s charged to view public records
The charge is improper if it is an open and pending case and you are requesting to review the official court file. If the case is closed or on microfiche, then the court may assess a reasonable charge for retrieving closed records. The photocopying charge is permitted if you are requesting copies.
