Small Claims & Tribunals
Support, guidance
& advocacy
Sometimes matters cannot be resolved by pre-action protocols and focused communications. Often our clients expect that the other party will not resolve their dispute before Court becomes necessary. Where cases proceed to formal proceedings, most people find Civil Courts and Tribunals much more relaxed than the Criminal Courts. There are still important rules and procedures to abide by and good manners are essential.
In Civil cases the standard of proof is much lower than in Criminal cases. You only have to prove your case as “more likely than not” rather than “beyond a reasonable doubt”. The Judge alone decides and must only has to find that your case is more legally sound and credible than your opponent. Your pre-action conduct will demonstrate your serious and compliant approach to your case, as well as explaining your position.
