Synopsis

A Straightforward Guide to What to Expect When You Go to Court is the ideal book for those people who wish to gain an in depth understanding of court procedure. The book covers the county court and the high court and is designed to enable those who wish to represent themselevs to do so with confidence. One of the major stumbling blocks to taking court action against anyone, especially rich and powerful institutions, is money. Good solicitors and barristers cost a lot of money, unless one is lucky enough to get legal representation on a no fee no win basis. The book looks at the institutions of the law, the county and high courts and detail in depth what happens when a trial starts, who the key players are and how a case is conducted. The book is comprehensive and covers the following: the court system, which court is which, who's who in court, what happens before a hearing; necessary paperwork needed by those in court; on the day, what to expect, the claimants particular role, how to conduct the case and what is expected of the claimant; the process after the hearing. There are several case studies which serve to enlighten the reader. The author, Robert Franks was involved in running neighbourhood law centres in London. He has written this book in the hope that the reader will benefit from his experience.
