Real UK Case Study: The Danger of Disproportionate Costs

Swain v Mills [2012]

The Situation: A dispute arose over a right of way, which led to multiple court hearings and appeals. The value of the land itself was relatively small.

The Outcome: The Court of Appeal expressed dismay that the legal costs incurred by both sides had become "so hugely disproportionate" to the value of what was at stake. The winning party was still unable to recover all of their massive legal fees.

What this means for you: This case is a powerful warning that "winning" in court can still be a financial disaster if costs are not controlled. Our focus on early negotiation and mediation is designed to prevent this, saving you from the stress and crippling expense of a prolonged court battle.

Your Questions About Civil Litigation

How much will it cost to pursue a claim?

We are transparent about costs from the start. We will provide a clear estimate of fees, potential disbursements (like court fees), and discuss funding options. Please note, we do not offer 'No Win No Fee' agreements, ensuring our advice remains impartial and focused on your best interests.

How long will my dispute take to resolve?

This depends on the complexity and the other party's willingness to negotiate. A dispute settled via mediation can be resolved in weeks. A case that proceeds to court can take many months. Our focus is always on resolving your issue as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Will I have to go to court?

It is very unlikely. The courts encourage parties to settle disputes out of court, and the vast majority of our cases are resolved through skilled negotiation or mediation. We treat court action as a final resort to be used only when a fair settlement cannot be reached otherwise.
