allocation of a court hearing or enforcing
judgments. These are fully explained on our costs
page.

| Will we always have the same consultant? |
|
|
|
| |
Yes. Our consultants have a limited portfolio of
clients in order that they attend to clients' requirements on an individual
basis.
|

|
|

Please note that we do not offer 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. |
