|
|

portfolio of clients in order that they attend to clients' requirements on an
individual basis.

existing legal issues? |
|

specific legal advice. It may be appropriate to refer you to a specialist
solicitor. However, we can provide procedural advice particularly if you
already have a judgment and require enforcement or are awaiting a hearing and
need to know how to conduct the court
procedures.

|
| In the event of things going
horribly wrong will you assist with our negotiations with the court or the
other side? |
|
|
|
| |
Yes. But please keep in mind that the
main objective of our service is prevention - not cure.
|
|
| If I lose will I have to pay
costs to the other side? |
|
|
|
| |
The District Judge has the option to
award travel expenses, loss of earnings and interest to the other side. If the
other side have legal representation the judge will decide just how essential
this was before making a costs decision.
However, if the Claimant is
foolish enough to bring a spurious claim to the court or blatantly tell lies or
misrepresenting the facts the judge will take certainly frown on such behaviour
and could award all costs to the other side.
|
|
| I live abroad. Can I make a
claim in England & Wales? |
|
|
|
| |
| Yes, provided that the Defendant
resides in England or Wales. |
