Justiciability of the right to education 2013, para. 79
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Fees to file complaints, however minor, have the effect of deterring claimants. This effect is more pronounced on the poor, who in turn are often those most affected by violations. Quasi-judicial mechanisms should never require payment to bring a claim, and subsidies for court proceedings should be available on a needs-based assessment.
