How This Works
Small claims court fees in England and Wales are set by HMRC and updated periodically. Online claims (MCOL) are cheaper. Fees are added to the claim if you win. The small claims track handles claims up to £10,000. Above that, the fast track (£10,001–£25,000) or multi-track applies with higher fees.
No — the small claims track is specifically designed for people to represent themselves (litigants in person). Lawyers do appear but are rarely cost-effective for small claims as legal costs are not usually recoverable. Prepare your evidence carefully: invoices, contracts, photos, correspondence. The judge will guide the hearing informally. Citizens Advice provides free help with preparing your case.
