Afternoon all,
I can't believe I can't find this is in a search or FAQ, but I have looked.
I am considering taking a claim to the SCC and am concerned about the consequences if I lose. I am confident that my claim is reasonable, but the other party is a major retailer and if they dispute my claim then they would (I presume) have all sorts of solicitor costs.
Is there any way that I could end up liable for their costs of defending my claim?
Thanks
FLCP

I'd be extremely surprise if they get solicitors for the case to be honest. Further, I'm pretty sure that the practice in Ireland/UK is that each party pays their own legal fees.

There are no costs in the Small Claims Court, win or lose.
