Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Small Claims (Courts).


Small Claims (Courts)

: Often, one of the reasons why such sums are not paid is that the company—which may be a small company—that finds itself in difficulty has its own legal fees to pay as well as the judgment. When it pays its own legal fees is a matter for it to resolve later; the crucial thing is that it quickly pays the judgment sum to the person who deserves it. That should be the priority, and it should be done within a fixed period.
