We have been clear that when Mr Assange leaves the Ecuadorean Embassy, all UK legal processes would need to be completed before he could leave the country. Mr Assange understands that the only way to resolve this issue is to leave the Embassy to face UK justice.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service records the costs incurred in the operation of all our courts and tribunals and carefully monitors those costs on an ongoing basis. Average costs are published in the HMCTS Annual Report and Accounts. However, HM Courts & Tribunals Service does not record the cost of individual cases or hearings due to the complexity and additional costs this would incur.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1496", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Shailesh Vara"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Shailesh Vara"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-24T12:54:18.4506301Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Julian Assange"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the total cost to the public purse was of the court hearings about the bail sureties given in the case of Julian Assange.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "208510"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91069", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91069/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The sums ordered by the court to be paid by those who stood surety for bail on behalf of Julian Assange have been paid in full.<\/p>
It should be noted that judicial discretion allows a judge to order a reduced value to be forfeited and that judicial discretion was exercised in this case. The rationale used by the judge when exercising his discretion to order a lower value for payment was set out in full in the judgement.<\/p>
The value of sureties offered to secure the bail of Mr Assange, the values ordered by the judge to be paid and the values collected after Mr Assange failed to appear in accordance with the conditions of his bail are shown below:<\/p>
