Courts and Tribunals Fees

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2016. It occurred during Estimates day on Courts and Tribunals Fees.

The hon. Gentleman says that 5% is significant, but we are talking about falls of 70%. If he is genuinely concerned about discouraging unmeritorious or frivolous claims, a small charge—not one of £1,200—might be appropriate. Does he not think that that amount is disproportionate, even if he agrees with the principle?
