Small Claims Court
Bringing a small claim in the small claims court can be both time consuming and costly in terms of court fees. However it is still the most cost-effective way to bring a claim, if you are claiming no more than £5,000.
CompactLaw provides information on how to make a small claim, including claiming your court costs and interest on what you are owed. Other important considerations are time limits for starting a claim.
We also cover the important areas of defending against a claim and enforcement of a claim, if you win.
See also our page on current court fees.
We also have a helpful section for examples of small claims cases.
