HM Treasury written question – answered at on 22 December 2014.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the annual saving to the Exchequer from the introduction of fees for (a) employment tribunals, (b) judicial review and (c) criminal courts.
The Government estimates that the introduction of fees for proceedings before the Employment Tribunals will generate approximately £9 million per annum from 2014/15 net of fee remissions.
The increases to fees for Judicial Review were part of a package of reforms to fees in the civil courts introduced in April 2014 to bring the fees closer to cost recovery. We estimate the fees for judicial review might contribute around £2million to this package, subject to the effect of fee remissions.
The introduction of the Criminal Courts Charge is estimated to generate gross cash inflows of between approximately £105 million and £185 million per annum in steady state (2023/24). The estimate of the cost of enforcement is approximately £25 million per annum in steady state.
