The TUC welcomed Lord Falconer's announcement this week that he would not raise the small claims limit for personal injury from £1,000 to £5,000.
General secretary Brendan Barber said: “Any increase would have denied many thousands of workers access to justice and legal compensation or forced people into the arms of "no-win, no fee" companies.
“When the proposals suggesting an increase were first announced, the TUC wrote to the Lord Chancellor asking him to keep the limit at £1,000.
“Had the change gone ahead, it would have seriously limited the ability of trade union legal services to provide access to justice for those injured as a result of employers' negligence.”
