It won't make it any more difficult to take him to court but it does give an indication that he doesn't tend to pay his debts :-(
Even if you go to the Small Claims Court and win, there is no guarantee that he will actually repay your �200 and you would then have to take further action which could potentially cost you more than the �200 he owes.

agreed, getting a judgment is the easy bit, its getting it enforced which is a total nightmare where people don't have jobs.
you'd probably have to send in the bailiffs who are usually crap or take a charge over any property he owned and threaten to apply to sell it unless he paid you off - usually you end up with a certain amount per week as courts are very reluctant to allow a house to be sold if they offer to pay even a derisory amount
