My team usually has a quick look at the MoJ’s quarterly civil justice statistics to gauge trends so that we can Iet you know if volumes of civil cases are on the up. An increase in the number of disputes reaching the courts could be a bellwether against which the need to promote LEI might be measured.
The Bar
council however has a different take on the latest statistics, pointing out
that a 19% drop in the number of debt judgments against business in
England and Wales during the first six months of 2016 is evidence of the
negative impact of rising court fees.
Fees charged to businesses for the
recovery of debts through the court system were increased on 2015. The Bar
council concludes that the increased fees have deterred small businesses from
pursuing cases.
