Following consultations between my Department, the Courts Service and other interests I concluded that the maximum award limit for the Small Claims Court should be increased. I can confirm therefore that I have recently requested the District Court rules committee to amend the relevant rules to provide for an increase in the maximum award limit for claims before the court.
