“....In the ET case the Court placed great weight on the "sharp, substantial and sustained fall in the volume of [cases]". .....

One can well imagine what the statistics will look like if the SCT limit is moved up to £5,000 and thereafter what the Supreme Court would have to say about the decision.

Having just re-read the relevant sections of the judgment, I simply cannot see how this proposed step would survive a trip to the Supreme Court. .....”

Whilst I understand your obviously wished for conclusion, I don’t buy that the SC will intervene. The attack on ET fees was because of that fees. It was also Union led, so firstly who is going to JR the Govt., and secondly the ET case is completely distinguishable as people can still bring cases in actual event more cheaply as they don’t face the risk of horrendous costs bills. ....

So I understand your sentiments but I suspect in the most politest sense that you are simply wrong.
