PETITION AGAINST INCREASE IN COURT FEES IN CIVIL CASES

As you are no doubt aware Birmingham Law Society and its membership have grave concerns about the various changes that have been (and continue to be) made to our legal system and how this is likely to impact upon access to justice.

One such change which has caused major concern amongst our legal community is the increase in court fees in civil cases.

As lawyers we often struggle to make a united stand and unfortunately this presents an opportunity for those seeking change where such change is not for the better. With this in mind I am seeking to achieve a united voice for our members that we believe the increase in court fees is wrong. As such I would encourage you to click on the link https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/120263 and sign up to this petition. It will take less than 60 seconds and your support will make a difference.

Let’s take a stand and speak with one voice on this issue!

Yours sincerely,
Mushtaq Khan
President
Birmingham Law Society
