A Day in court
My Experience
Going to court whats that all about those were places only for over people. I got involved in a unfair dismissal case with my employer and unfortunately it ended in a 2 day hearing. Money was tight and I could not afford some of the fee's I was quoted so I opted to go for a McKenzie Friend . This is my interpretation of how I felt about the court day not the process. I woke up early I was rather nervous the night before but I called my McKenzie and he reassured me everything will be ok. I hopped onto the tube in the morning and got to the court about 2 hours before I was due to be there "Anxiety".
I went into the court room security scanners when you anxious really! Got through them and waited for my McKenzie friend. Now I was her the nerves seem to go disappear I realized I was in an environment that was there to conclude the dispute I had been in. My McKenzie friend arrived we had a cup of tea a chat we spoke about the football ! We signed our self's in we were ready for the final countdown until we were called into court.
Magistrates Courts of the United Kingdom
Magistrates
Magistrates in civil matters
Although many magistrates are concerned with criminal cases they can also handle civil matters, particularly in relation to family disputes or employment law
Magistrates in Family Proceedings Court
Magistrates are trained to handle issues in the Family Proceedings Court.
The court setting is often less formal than say, a criminal court and can sometimes have a very different setting such as around a large table rather than the "bench type" setting better known for court procedures.
Cases can be very emotional and at Affordable Legal we understand that these issues are not easy. As a result we offer to be alongside every step of the way.
Here is a list of courts - there is probably one near you. We are able to represent alongside you as a support in these locales.
