Is it a cap or is it fixed costs? It cannot be properly both.

If it is fixed then it will follow that some you win / some you lose and further that the claimants will game the system to shift the balance in their favour.

There are limited arguments in favour of fixed costs on lower value claims but these do not stand scrutiny when it comes to matters of up to £250k

Imagine the CMC on a matter where liability is in dispute and the parties want to have a collision reconstruction report but they have exhausted the allowed amount on medico-legal experts what is the Court to do start playing around with Matchstick cars?
