What is the maximum value for claims that MCOL can handle?

• A. £25,000
• B. £100,000
• C. £250,000
• D. £1,000,000

Answer: (B)

MCOL is the online route for starting money claims in the county court, designed for straightforward disputes. It has a fixed value limit to keep the process efficient and cost-effective. The maximum amount you can bring online is £100,000, so claims up to that value can be issued, served, and progressed entirely through MCOL with the usual steps and online management. If the claim exceeds £100,000, the standard county court procedure must be used, since higher-value cases require more complex handling andhigher costs. This threshold helps keep the online system focused on typical, simpler claims rather than large, high-stakes litigation.
