Flying Solo: Representing Yourself in the County Courts of England & Wales: PART 2 - Take Off: Issuing & Defending a Claim - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Are you representing yourself in the courts of England and Wales? Succeeding in court without a lawyer is possible and often necessary, largely due to costs. But, there are a lot of complexities and tactics your opponent can use, and therefore you need to equip yourself with ammunition.
Think for a moment about a busy airport. There may be a cargo plane, a passenger plane, a corporate jet, a small single-prop Piper, and a Cessna light aircraft (the one that my father used to fly). Each one is different, has unique characteristics, and may need a different runway and a specific flight plan. Before taking off they need clearance from the control tower, will have a specific “slot” and instructions to travel along a certain air corridor. You cannot meander onto a runway, push the throttle forward, lift off the ground when and how you please and fly about at whatever altitude and trajectory you fancy. You are liable to cause a mid-air collision!
But this is how I see many litigants- in-person pursuing their claims. They have a good plane, a Spitfire or a Boeing, and they go at it, taking off thoughtlessly with no idea about the rules and without the proper permission of the control tower. If there is any doubt about the cause of action you need to pursue, you should read this book.
Laying out the cause of action is critical. In this series, you will learn
1. What is the Legal Cause of Action
2. How to Identify Issues
3. What are the Different Types of Claim (Part 7 & Part 8)
4. Importance of Administrative Matters
5. What is the Form N1 & Particulars of Claim and how to Draft Them
6. How to Draft a Defence, Counterclaim & Reply

The book has plenty of real-life examples taken from cases run and assisted by solicitors.
