You can bring a lawyer. You cannot bill for one.So the argument is yours
On the small claims track, CPR 27.14 shuts out recovery of solicitor and counsel fees even when you win. Trial AI runs your case as a full mock trial — civil, criminal, IP, commercial or judicial review — with both sides argued, a written judgment, and the questions the district judge is most likely to put to you.

What Trial AI hears in United Kingdom
Civil, Criminal, Intellectual property, Commercial, Administrative — all run as full mock trials, each routed to the court that would actually hear it here.
Civil
Claims between private parties over money, contracts, property and harm.
- Contract claims
- Tort and personal injury
- Property and housing
- Employment claims
- Consumer claims
Heard by
County Court → High Court → Court of Appeal → Supreme Court
Small claims track to GBP 10,000; fast track to GBP 25,000; multi-track above that (CPR 26.9). Employment claims go to the Employment Tribunal instead.
What Trial AI gives you here
- Liability and quantum analysed separately, so you know which one is weak
- A written judgment showing which head of loss survives and which does not
- A demand letter you can send before spending anything on filing
- A settlement range, and the argument the other side is most likely to run
Worked examples
The builder who left the job unfinished
£6,200A homeowner paid GBP 6,200 of an GBP 8,000 kitchen fit-out; the builder stopped attending and the worktops were never installed.
A mock trial run as if self-represented — because recovering fees is not on the table — plus the letter before claim the protocols expect first.
The deposit withheld at the end of a tenancy
£1,850A tenant left with a full check-out report; the landlord deducted for wear the inventory had already recorded on check-in.
The judgment turned on the check-in inventory rather than the photographs — the mock trial showed which document to lead with.
Twenty-two case types across five categories. If your dispute does not fit neatly, describe it in your own words and the assistant will place it.
How a case becomes a court-result simulation
Trial AI is not ordinary chat. It puts the case through a simulated trial flow where plaintiff counsel, defendant counsel, and judge roles test each other before producing a court-result preview.

Reasons, risk, and next steps
A money claim in England and Wales, cheapest step first
This is the path a small money claim takes. Criminal, IP, commercial and judicial-review matters follow their own routes — and a judicial review has to be brought within three months.
Letter before claim
The pre-action protocols expect you to set out the claim and give the other side a chance to respond before issuing. Skipping it can cost you on costs later.
Postage only
Issue the claim
A money claim can be issued online. The court fee scales with the amount claimed, and the fixed costs of issuing are among the few things you can recover.
Fee scales with value
Allocation to a track
Not more than GBP 10,000 is normally the small claims track; to GBP 25,000 the fast track; above that the multi-track. The track decides how the case is run and what costs follow.
CPR 26.9
The hearing — informal, and on your own account
The strict rules of evidence do not apply, evidence need not be on oath, and the judge may limit cross-examination (CPR 27.8). You may be represented, but solicitor and counsel fees are not recoverable (CPR 27.14).
CPR 27.8, 27.14

What people ask about United Kingdom
Yes — and this is where England and Wales differ from Malaysia and Singapore, where counsel is prohibited. You may instruct a solicitor. But under CPR 27.14 you cannot recover their fees even if you win, so the economics push most people to argue it themselves.
