EDITED Quick Question! Refund of £25 MCOL Initial Fee?

Hello
I originally posted this thread where I was claiming £54 through MCOL. The owner of the school has since paid the £54.
Is there any way I can claim the £25 back? Either from him or the court?
EDIT: Have read in the MCOL notes "If the defendant pays you after the claim was issued, you may still be able to pursue them for the fees (although the defendant may file a defence disputing the fees)." - How do I pursue them for fees? Does this just mean you may be able to come to an informal agreement?
Also read, "If you are willing to accept the amount you have received in settlement of the claim, you can mark the case as paid by clicking on ‘update claim status’ button."
But cannot see this button? Do they need to do something on their end before I can update?

You should of claimed this at the start when going through the process and also the 8% interest on the amount per year iirc. I think you might need to resubmit a new MCOL for the fees, I would be inclined to let it go now0
