If a claim is under £10,000 it will usually be allocated to the smalls claims track. The procedure under the small claims track is more informal than other Court processes and therefore costs are generally not recoverable, even if you are successful with your claim. The Court will only usually award minimal fixed sums for costs and your Court fees.
We understand however that people often need assistance with these types of claims and to help mitigate your costs, fixed fees are available for our expert team to assist you at each stage of the process.
Fees do not include Court fees or Hearing/Trial representation fees. All disbursements are payable separately.
Any pre-action correspondence entered into with the other party (further than the pre-action protocol letter) may be subject to further fees
The filing and serving of all documents with the Court and other party, will be the responsibility of the client, unless arranged otherwise and this firm has agreed to go on record with the Court.
Fees and disbursements are payable in advance for each stage. Proceedings will not be issued until the Court fee has been paid.
If the claim is issued but does not proceed the Court fee cannot be reclaimed.
If any work falls outside of these fixed fees, further work will be changed at the hourly rate of £195 plus vat
