Public Access
John Pugh is qualified to
provide public access services of the type described
by Dyson L.J. in Agassi v
Robinson. Eileen Ashton has also undergone
Bar Council Training in public access skills.
We accept instructions direct from members of the
public or companies or through intermediaries, in
all forms of commercial litigation.
If you seek to recover
undisputed business debts very cheaply and
efficiently
please visit our site at
www.debtclaims.com.
If you are involved in a commercial dispute we
will discuss what is involved in this
modern and flexible way of conducting litigation before you commit to it.
Whatever
form of secretarial assistance you employ it
helps to bring them to the first public access
meeting. Lines of communication are as vital in
litigation as they are in any other situation of
developing conflict.
We will also assist you
with financial mis-selling disputes and vetting of
your credit card agreements and fixed sum loan
agreements for enforceability. Where we
believe a case looks good enough to obtain After The
Event Insurance we will give you written advice to
take to a solicitor to pursue the matter on CFA both
with the solicitor and us. If the claim does
not have the value necessary to recover costs we
will assisting you, if you wish, by drafting your
claim for you, in pursuing relief in respect via the
small claims court.
If you wish to instruct us we are obliged by the
Public Access Regulations 2004 to e-mail or send you
a client care letter which we will require you to
sign and return before we can undertake work for
you.
Our first consideration when considering whether to
accept instructions is whether it is in you best
interests to instruct us direct (with its cost
saving over instructing solicitors) or whether your
interests would be better served by instructing
solicitors and instructing us through them (more
expensive but cheaper than litigation which goes
wrong if you do not have the time or administrative
assistance to attend to the routine administration
involved).
We cannot do the routine letter writing or liaising
with court and opponent, involved in litigation for
you. Our services are the same as we offer to
solicitors, i.e. they are confined to giving legal
advice, drafting key documents and advocacy at
court, mediation or in negotiations).
We cannot offer a no
win no fee service on Public Access because we are
not licensed to conduct litigation (no barristers
are - that is the sole province of solicitors) and
so we cannot cover you with After the Event
insurance of your liability for the other side's
costs if you lose you case. Our written opinion,
however, may assist you in obtaining no win no fee
representation from solicitors
