About this Act
An Act to consolidate and amend the laws relating to the procedure of the Courts of Civil Judicature.
Where the whole or any part of any fee prescribed for
any document by the law for the time being in force relating to court-fees has not been paid, the Court may, in
its discretion, at any stage, allow the person, by whom such fee is payable, to pay the whole or part, as the case
may be, of such court-fee; and upon such payment the document, in respect of which fee is payable, shall have
the same force and effect as if such fee had been paid in the first instance.
