I think it's fair to say that the caps helped the program maximize the budget; you make sure you're saving some money for as many cases as possible.

For case development, the cap was $15,000; for case funding for litigation, the trial level was capped at $60,000 and the appeal level at $35,000, so you can see that there were caps put in place.
