I'm confused as to how it's meant to work where the claim is not for a specified amount.

If I am dealing with a PI matter that I have valued at £14,000 - £17,000. Am I required to pay 10% of the 17,000? What if the court awards a higher sum, or am I limited to £17,000? Does that mean we should therefore issue at £20,000? And if so what happens when we are awarded £14,000 having issues at £20,000,? Does the Defendant get to argue they should not pay the whole of the fee? Does the shortfall come from my client's damages?
