higher and lower scale

higher and lower scale
In the practice of the English supreme court of judicature there were two scales regulating the fees of the court and the fees which solicitors were entitled to charge. The lower scale applied (unless the court otherwise ordered) to the following cases:
All causes and matters assigned by the judicature acts to the king's bench, or the probate, divorce, and admiralty divisions;
all actions of debt, contract, or tort; and in almost all causes and matters assigned by the acts to the chancery division in which the amount in litigation was under GBP1,000. The higher scale applied in all other causes and matters, and also in actions falling under one of the above classes, but in which the principal relief sought to be obtained was an injunction
