While one should be cautious about drawing conclusions from the limited figures, it does rather look as though the fee increase has had the opposite of the intended effect - slight drop in "unmeritorious or weaker claims" (taking all claims which fail at a hearing as being one or the other), and a near 50% drop in meritorious or successful claims.

I trust the MoJ will be monitoring this carefully, and if the trend continues reduce fees or expand the fees remission scheme?
