A Practical Guide to Small Claims

The third edition of this practical handbook provides step-by-step guidance for litigants, or their advisers, who seek to recover debts or to redress grievances by way of the streamlined court procedure for small claims. This book can be used by either a claimant or defendant, no matter whether the person suing, is in business or is a private individual. It pays special attention to the main difficulties that may be encountered, including enforcement of a judgment. It also contains valuable appendices including lists of fees, lists of courts, some applicable forms and voluntary codes of practice and includes a helpful glossary of terms (both legal and CPR) for the non-practitioner. It is an indispensable handbook and essential source of reference for credit controllers; debt collecting agencies; legal advisers and private individuals involved in debt recovery actions.
