Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello and thank you for the question. I’ll do my best to assist you and provide an accurate and speedy response. Please bear with me as this is an email service and not live chat, replies will not be instant as a result. Also note that the discussions here are for general information purposes only and do not constitute a lawyer client relationship.
Let me just review your query and I’ll come back to you with any points I need clarifying in order to be able to answer.
Is it clear from the court what you need to address in this statement?
When have you been asked to provide it by?
I understand, you need to file a defence.
Are you clear on what your defence to the claim itself is? Essentially you have to go through the claim form and set out why you disagree with or can dispute the claim that is being made.
Are you confident in writing this yourself or do you need assistance with writing it?
OK, then let me point you in the direction of someone that can help. As we aren't a law firm, I can't assist with writing a defence directly, but you can either instruct a solicitor or a barrister to help with this. It may be cheaper to get help from a barrister directly as they will only charge for the time it takes to write the defence rather than going on file as acting for you in this matter.
