In Tunisia, the emoluments of judicial bailiffs, public officers governed by Organic Law No. 2018-9 of 30 January 2018, follow an official tariff: the joint order (arrêté) of the Ministers of Justice and Finance of 25 June 2021 (JORT No. 55 of 29 June 2021). The tariff covers most acts: services of process, commands to pay, inspection reports and seizures. The amount therefore depends on the type of act, and every payment is confirmed by a detailed official receipt. Some assignments fall outside the tariff, such as advisory work, audits, complex asset tracing and mediation; for those, fees are set by a clear agreement made with the client before the work begins. This framework ensures that all litigants are treated equally before the public justice service. Before any action, the office of Maître Nabil Baffoun provides a clear cost estimate, and the per-act fee table is set out below.
