Questions
Online or paper?
Online needs a known amount, addresses in England or Wales, one claimant and at most two defendants. Otherwise use form N1 by post.
Do I have to go to mediation?
For smaller defended claims the court arranges free telephone mediation and you are expected to attend.
Do you guarantee I'll win?
No. A judge decides. We don't publish success rates.
