can i recover my legal costs in small claims court
If a claim is for less than Â£10,000 it will almost certainly be allocated to the Small Claims Track, often referred to as the Small Claims Court. In the Small Claims Track, the court will only usually allow the successful party to recover very limited costs, such as court fees and witness expenses.A more substantial costs order will only be made if one of the parties has behaved unreasonably.here isnât an absolute right to recover your legal costs, even if you win. The court will need to exercise its discretion before making a decision. This does not mean that itâs completely arbitrary.
