Our site is a free resource to help individuals and businesses dealing with small claims court disputes in England and Wales. The small claims limit was increased in April 2013, to £10,000. Claims of a value of less than that amount will generally be dealt with as small claims. The main implication of this is that neither party to the dispute can recover their legal costs, regardless of who wins or loses. For this reason, many people are using the courts without solicitors. Our site is here to give a little guidance and tips to help to those who might not have used the courts before or want some general guidance.
