I had been in business from the age of 21 and at the age of 30 I decided to handle all my own legal affairs. I am nearly 70 now. It was difficult at that time as there was no internet to obtain information. I went to the library to read up and also sat in court to listen to other cases being heard

___________________________

I was successful in my own matters and family and friends approached me to assist them in their own legal matters.   In 2008 I decided to offer my knowledge and experience to Companies, Businesses of all sizes and to the Public on a commercial basis at very affordable rates that will give you access to justice. I do not charge by the hour and quote for any work I do, in advance. I also give Free Legal Advice

Testimonial by an opponent City of London Senior Solicitor 18th September 2015

 

My name is Tony Fischer of Small Claims Ltd. Here is what an opponent Senior Solicitor has testified and authorised me to publish his actual words on my site:

This is by a solicitor opponent of Mr Fischer.  It is not by a client.  Opponents might give even a better indication of dealings than own clients.  I did not agree with or approve of all of Mr Fischer's arguments or tactics.  That is probably inevitable as an opponent.  The fundamental point, that may be of assistance to others, is that, in my view, without Mr Fischer's efforts, I doubt whether the case would have settled and in the way that it did.  It was a pleasure to deal with Mr Fischer.  I would prefer that my identity is not published.  If anyone wishes to verify what is said here, they may ask Mr Fischer to pass on to me their contact details.

166th Update - Practice Direction Amendments

The new Practice Direction 51ZE, which supplements the Civil Procedure Rules 1998, is made by the Master of the Rolls under the powers delegated to him by the Lord Chief Justice under Schedule 2, Part 1, paragraph 2(2) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, and is approved by Lord Bellamy, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, by the authority of the Lord Chancellor. The new Practice Direction 51ZE – Small Claims Track Automatic Referral to Mediation Pilot Scheme, comes into force on 22nd May 2024.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE LAY PERSON?

The courts have 100,000 cases backed up and are trying new ways to clear this backlog. They are also short of Judges and have extended the retiring age from 70 to 75.

This new Directive affects Small Claims in that certain cases WILL be referred to Mediation and if any Party refuses or fails to attend the mediation process (by phone), that Party can expect the courts to apply sanctions such as striking out your claim or defence.

When receiving court orders, you must read them carefully and comply with the order. Failure to do so will result in consequences.

The Renters (Reform) Bill: HL Bill 74 of 2023 - 24, or, The Bed and Breakfast Bill

Many renters will assume this reform will give them security of tenure on private rented accommodation. This reform is the biggest "Con" to renters.
 
It proposes to extend the notice period from 2 to 4 months. Landlords are not going to wear that plus more time before it becomes before the courts especially if the tenant is in arrears.
 
Then there is no discrimination against tenants that claim benfits. That won't work, as landlords will ask for a guarantor who has assets such as a house.
 
And rents will continue to rise, as George Osborne took away tax relief on interest on the loans that landlords pay, so, landlords increased the rents to cover this, being £2 - 400.00 a month. That's why your rents are higher.
 
As a result of all these measures, around 50% of the private landlords left the market, resulting in less properties for rent with 20 people chasing one property.
 
The Renters Reform Bill will be the final nail in the coffin where more landlords will leave the market and will adversely reduce the amount of properties to rent to the extent, more and more tenants will face living in bed and breakfast.
 
For landlords, the proposal is to give tenants  6 months' notice to vacate which will drive more small landlords out of the rental market resulting in even fewer properties to rent and those that remain will charge even higher rents to cover any future rent arrears.
