If there were one award given at a fixed amount, all the cases could be fixed without any legal proceedings. For the same wrongdoing, for example a claim in respect of "slopping out", the award in the first case should apply to subsequent cases. Should everyone not get the same award if it is for the same case for more than 100 prisoners in Mountjoy or wherever, and cut out the legal costs?
