Can someone else represent me in the Small Claims Court, other than a solicitor ?
You can take a friend to speak on your behalf as your representative in the Small Claims Court, they will be called your "Lay Representative".
If you just want to bring a friend or relative into court to consult with, but not to speak on your behalf they are known as your "McKenzie Friend".
You must be present at court as well if you use a Lay Representative, they cannot speak for you in your absence. (An exception to this is if the Lay Representative is your employer or if the court gives special permission for you to be absent).
Where do I find a Small Claims Court ?
