We Need Your Feedback
Members have brought to the GFSB Board’s attention that, as of 1 August 2025, the fees for listing hearings in the Supreme Court have risen very substantially. Under the previous regime, small claims were subject to a graduated scale, with listing fees ranging from £25 up to a maximum of £335.
Under the new rules, all hearings—including small claims—attract a flat £1,000 listing fee. This means that if you issue proceedings to recover a modest sum, such as a few hundred pounds, you may now be required to pay £1,000 simply to have the matter listed for hearing. In some cases, this represents a fee increase of up to forty-fold.
The GFSB is ready ro take action on this issue, and we would like to hear from members about how this change affects you and your business.

Clocked out in August? Good for you. Thrive EDIT Editor David Revagliatte rounds up the Gibraltar business stories worth clocking back into. August is supposed to be the month when Gibraltar collectively eases off the accelerator. Judging by the news cycle, nobody told 2026. The first full month of life under the new Treaty arrangements brought a mixture of early optimism and very real teething problems for businesses. New employment rules landed, a pensions deadline crept closer, one of Gibraltar's most important airlines changed hands and a major local bank announced job cuts.
