Re: Civil Case Defend Myself: Judges more lenient to non legal people in the courts?
as others have said, if you have insurance pass it to them to handle. If you don't, they were you designer in your personal capacity or as a ltd company? if in your persona lcapacitym then you stand to lowe quite a lot if you lose. Even if you are successful, there is no guarantee that you will recover your costs, that is the costs of any other professional witness you engage.
If you cannot afford legal representation, and have no assets, you migth as well tell the opposition and save them the cost of sueing you!
