The Civil Court Users Association (CCUA) has written further to our response to the recent consultation by the Ministry on the proposals to “align” court fees.

As the Ministry is aware, the CCUA strenuously opposed the proposals and called for a full review of the current fee structure, which is extremely damaging to the interests of justice and not fit for purpose. It is unfair to court users whether Claimant or Defendant. Where possible, we shall endeavour not to repeat the same points here. We have already set them out quite clearly in our consultation response.

Quite simply, we are extremely disappointed with the Ministry’s response to the consultation responses, dated 8th March 2021.
