How Oman court fees work
Oman civil and commercial court fees are statutory: 2 percent of the claim, minimum OMR 5, capped at OMR 3,000. Labour cases brought by employees are heard free of court fees in most Oman jurisdictions to protect access to justice. Specialised tribunals (rent, family, summary, commercial of certain values) may have separate schedules. Appeal-stage fees apply on top of first-instance.
Worked example
A commercial dispute of OMR 100,000: fee = 100,000 x rate = bracket-dependent. The 2 percent of the claim, minimum OMR 5, capped at OMR 3,000 caps protect both ends of the spectrum.
