Another justification for the increase is because it has not been increased for years. But neither has the guideline rates. On the back of that justification, guideline rates should increase 400%...that is not going to happen.

Further, the MOJ's response shows that they are making it up as they go along. The Government sees law and lawyers as an easy way of saving money but in reality, they are costing themselves a lot more. Courts will be clogged up as they have made the process so technical, even lawyers find it difficult to navigate.
