What Is A Small Claims Case?

A small claim is a legal dispute involving a monetary amount under £10,000 in England and Wales. It typically covers issues like:

Unpaid invoices or business debts.

Faulty goods or services.

Disputes between landlords and tenants over deposits or property damage.

Breach of contract claims.

The small claims court is designed to be accessible, allowing individuals to handle cases without the need for a solicitor. However, the process can still be complex, and having the right support can make a significant difference in achieving a favorable outcome.
