I have never understood the argument that the court should pay for themselves? Why should they? They are a state service not a private business in a market economy. Potential "consumers" of courts services do not have a choice to take their dispute elsewhere if the prices are too high or the service is too low.

Curiously, I always thought that the banks were private businesses in a market economy, but the government appears to take a different view on that as well!
