On 21 March 2016 there was yet another increase in Court fees, among which were fees relating to starting proceedings for recovery of land in the County Court which have risen from £280 to £355.
This comes after the controversial hike in Court fees that took place in April 2015. This relentless increase in Court fees will no doubt have a serious impact on access to justice with many potential claimants being unable to commence proceedings.
The prevalent fee changes are summarised as follows:
| Type of fee | Increase |
| Possession claims in County Court | Increase from £280 to £355(£250 to £325 for online claims) |
| General application by consent in civil proceedings | Increase from £50 to £100 |
| Contested application made on notice in civil proceedings | Increase from £155 to £255 |
