Can a bond refund be applied against case fees?
Answer. If the surety on a bond refund is the defendant and he/she has been assessed fees, those fees are automatically deducted from any refund that he/she is entitled to. If the defendant has multiple cases with existing fees, the refund will be applied against any balance that is currently on record with the Third Circuit Court. If there is a refund balance after the application against case fees, then the defendant is entitled to that amount.
