This is what to expect from a First Hearing Dispute Resolution Appointment in court.
It will be the first time the court has heard the main arguments from each party and will expect the parties to try to resolve as many issues as they can between them before narrowing down the core issues that the court will have to decide. The court will then look at dates for any evidence and witness statements and the next hearing.

When you reach 12 points within a short period of time, the court is obliged to ban you unless you can show exceptional hardship. Today, I talk about what this means for you and how you might avoid a driving bank

Many people think there is a small claims court but this is not true. I talk about what makes a claim a small claim and, in simple terms, how to bring a small claim in court.
Claims for money alone will be designated as a small claim if it is no more than £10,000 and if it is a personal injury or landlord-tenant claim no more than £1000.
