Problem: Unpaid debt for £30,000+ invoice.
Outcome: 100% claim value recovered (plus legal costs from the opponent).
How long did it take? Less than 2 months.
Our lawyers were instructed by a large accountancy practise in relation to a breach of contract as one of their clients failed to pay an invoice for over £30,000, and the claimant client was forced to issue court proceedings as they had failed to pay the invoice (and the claimant client was not going to accept any reduction on the work that they had carried out).
Our lawyers carefully prepared the claim at Court and made a careful Part 36 offer to protect our client’s position given that there was no reasonable basis for the defendant to dispute the invoice. We were able to conduct an asset trace exercise and knew that the defendant had the means to pay the invoice in full.
In any event, the claim was filed and served, and the defendant instructed a well-known law firm to defend the claim and file a Defence. However, the defence was defective in several respects and did not comply with the Civil Procedure Rules. Our lawyers alerted these issues to the defendant and the claim settled on favourable terms for the claimant client on the basis that the full invoice was paid plus legal costs and interest.
