Petition Reduce Civil Court Fees to enable access to justice.

The Court Service made £100 million profit. The maximum court fee remains £10,000 to bring a claim and £1,090 to have a trial. Its time for the MOJ to review court fees to ensure we maintain access to justice for all.

More details

You are owed £220,000. You have some modest savings and need to issue court proceedings to recover your debt. You will have to pay a £10,000 court fee plus £1,090 to have a trial. There is no legal aid available anymore. You are prevented from bringing a claim simply due to the ridiculously high court fee.
