You are all missing the point.

Duncan Rutter, FOIL's president, said: ‘If the small claims limit is to be increased, a move we would caution against in view of the likely consequences, FOIL believes that the change should be introduced alongside a number of measures to make sure the new regime is workable.

‘FOIL members would like to see online access to justice for claimants, whether through the portal or by way of a new online process, which should make allowance for individuals with limited access to technology; better regulation of claims management companies; and a process allowing claimants to value their own claims.’

Or in other words when you have made the change this is what we would like you to do. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the suggestion of tariffs for PSLA or for the introduction of Colossus after all claimants will need help to value the claims.
