1. Which are some of the frequent problems that arise when someone chooses to handle an issue in the legal realm on their own?
As litigators we frequently encounter clients who have initiated legal actions on their own, without complying with the proper procedure. Most disputes are governed by an action protocol prior to the start of litigation. They outline the steps to follow prior to filing a claim in Court. If someone fails to comply with the procedure for pre-action and later brings the claim to court, they could be criticized by the court. This could lead to costs or other sanctions against the person who failed to follow.
Sometimes, people who have initiated actions without consulting a lawyer have not provide sufficient details within the particulars of Claim or Defence. Sometimes they don’t give the proper legal or factual basis for their claim or defense. If a claim hasn’t been formulated or justified in a proper manner and properly, it is difficult to amend the document later. Even even if the Court allows you to alter the document, the Court will likely require you cover the costs that the opponent incurs due to the fact that you did not properly prepare.
