Barrister Stewart Patterson Warns Spike in Court Fees Make Arbitration the Best Option for Many Clients
Seeking justice used to be relatively straight forward, but the process is being monetized at an alarming rate. On Monday 9th of March 2015, the legal system crossed a watershed with a sharp rise in the cost of taking a case to court. For claims between £5,000 and £10,000 it now costs £455 just to file the case in court, and claims above £10,000 cost 5% of the claim amount. This punishing cost leaves the most vulnerable unable to seek recourse, leading Stewart Patterson to recommend Arbitration and Mediation Services as an alternative in a new editorial on his website.
