The Government is committed to investing over £1bn to modernise the courts and tribunals system, including improvements to the civil Justice system.

The Online Civil Money Service, which went live in March 2018, is designed to offer a digital service allowing people to resolve money disputes up to £10k where a person or business owes money in a simple, accessible and proportionate way.

The public can easily and swiftly make their claim and establish clear information about what to do next at each stage. The system is designed to be clear and intuitive and to date, the overall user satisfaction rate is 89%.
