Will I need to be represented by a solicitor ?

Cases are dealt with differently in the Small Claims Court. It is supposed to be more simple so that anyone can deal with their own case from start to finish without using a solicitor.

 

If you decide to use a solicitor you cannot get your solicitor's costs back from your opponent when you win. (If your claim involved an injunction you may be able to get back part of your solicitor's costs for the injunction claim).
