MoJ responds to concerns over further court fee increases
Responding to an article by the Law Society expressing concern over court fee increases, a Ministry of Justice spokesperson said:
“We recognise that fee increases are not popular but at every stage we have sought to protect the most vulnerable by ensuring they will not have to pay new and higher fees and by consulting on making the remissions scheme more generous.
“We have also sought to ensure that those who can afford to – such as wealthy individuals or large corporations making very high money claims – will make a bigger contribution. Every pound we collect from these fee increases will be spent on providing an efficient and effective system of courts and tribunals.”
