- Disadvantages of Small Claims
- For cases over £1000 an allocation fee has to be paid
- Legal funding for a solicitor is not available
- Where the other side is a business they are more likely to use a solicitor, this puts an individual representing themselves at a disadvantage
- Research shows that District Judges are not always helpful to unrepresented parties
- Even if you win your case it doesn't mean the other side will pay you. Only about 60% of successful claiments actually receive all the money awarded by the court
