Small Claims
Although the small claims track is designed to be a quick, straightforward and cheap process in which legal representation is not necessarily required, the increase in the maximum value for civil matters (up to £10,000 or up to £1,000 for personal injury and housing disrepair cases), has undoubtedly impacted upon the number of clients obtaining legal advice in order to determine the strength of their case before proceeding.
This course will offer practical guidance on how to a run small track cases from inception to enforcement as cost effectively and efficiently as possible, as even relatively low cost consultation fees can provide a regular stream of income for firms. This course will be of particular interest to trainees, paralegals and legal executives who may find themselves handling increasing numbers of small track cases, as clients attempt to keep the costs down when seeking legal representation in such matters.
