Back in January, we reported that there were over half a million crown and criminal court cases waiting to be heard in England and Wales; and, almost six months on, the situation shows no signs of improvement.
The Law Society of England and Wales recently warned that delays across the civil justice system risk discouraging people from pursuing claims, leaving no incentive for debtors and unscrupulous people to comply with the law.
Nevertheless, by actioning the team at Cobra, you can skip the entire civil court process and go straight to the source of the problem; and trust us, we incentivise your debtor to comply.
Don’t Take Your Small Court Claim to Trial
Ministry of justice figures show the average time taken for small claims to go to trial is 45 weeks between January and March, this was an increase on the regular 32 weeks over the same period last year.
As we know, small claims are often pursued by people seeking their money back – they make up the majority of cases at civil court.
Furthermore, not only has the underfunding of the civil justice service had a monumental and detrimental impact on the judicial system as a whole, but delays have worsened since the pandemic began.
Unlike the court system that embeds the belief that if there’s ‘little chance of people effectively enforcing their rights, then there is also little incentive for people to comply with the law and their obligations,’ at Cobra, we encourage our clients to bypass the judicial system and pursue your debtor through face-to-face means.
And, although the Ministry of Justice says new measures to reduce the numbers of outstanding cases have been introduced, we at Cobra are not convinced that the situation will improve anytime soon.
