Common questions
Does every dispute need to go to court?
No. Many disputes can be resolved through clear pre-action correspondence, negotiation or mediation. Court proceedings may be appropriate where urgent protection is required, time limits are approaching or a negotiated outcome cannot be achieved.
Can I recover my legal costs if I win?
A successful party may be entitled to recover some costs, but recovery is not automatic and rarely covers every pound spent. The rules vary by claim type and court track. We will explain the likely position and the risk of paying the other side’s costs.
What should I send before the first discussion?
Send the relevant contract or title documents, key correspondence, any court papers, photographs and a short chronology if available. Contact us promptly where a limitation date, hearing or response deadline may apply.
