    Key issue are that

    1. Default CCJ for all claims is about 90% which has been confirmed elsewhere by the Civil Courts User Group
    2. The increase in Small Claims has gone from 30K per year in 2013 with a 30 week turnaround to 40K in 2021 with a 50 week turnaround.
    3. The increase in cases is mainly due to PCN's are there are 12K - 15K cases per year. Set Asides, rehearing's and appeals just add to this.
    4. Internet groups supporting motorists are causing the courts to grind to a halt, as everyone prefers 90% default judgements where no-one has to do any work and can just take the cash.
    5. It's all your fault.
    6. [Your preferred PPC winge here.] 
    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's
    • When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
    • "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
    • All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's and their rules apply.
