Going to Court

Some legal disputes are not as straightforward as you think they will be. In such circumstances the last resort to get the redress that you deserve is the small claims court.

The small claims court exists to help you make claims against a company and recover legitimate compensation. Making a claim doesn't necessarily mean you need to use expensive solicitors to take you through the small claims procedure.

The price of subscribing to Which? Legal Service for a year equates to roughly fifteen minutes of a high street lawyer's time. Why risk losing what you are entitled to in legal costs when Which? Legal Service can help for a fraction of the costs?

The small claims court is a simple and easy process and we can guide you step-by-step through the process from issuing the claim to preparing the case for court.

The small claims system is slightly different for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Even though it may all be classed as a small claims case, the amounts that can be claimed vary - for England and Wales it is £5,000, for Scotland it is £3,000 and for Northern Ireland it is £2,000. The exact way that the cases are dealt with can also vary - although if you go through the small claims, it is unlikely that the case will be heard in a courtroom.
