since you mention court case and I presume you mean District Court attendance fees ( or even District Court Appeals) and if the solicitor doesn't know you then expect to pay fees up front...eaten bread is soon forgotten etc

I think it would be no harm to suss out the fee from the Solicitor and whether you have to bring cash to court either for the solicitor or if the Judge decides on a poor box contribution.
