Ironically, the decision no to raise the cap is actually a regressive measure.

I take the view that the court fee should continue to be set as a percentage of the claim without limit, so that when one of our Russian oligarch chums, who seem to clog up the courts with monotonous regularity, sues another oligarch for £100m he would have to cough up a £5m court fee.

At least it would be a damn sight better than the rest of the infinitely poorer court users having to subsidise rich foreigners who have no basic right to use our courts anyway.
