I will draft a powerful UK small claims defence as a licensed solicitor
Licensed UK Solicitor: Small Claims and Court Dispute Specialist
About this Gig
Have you received a County Court Claim Form (N1)? You have strict statutory deadlinesusually 14 to 28 daysto respond. Failing to file an adequate defense can result in a Default Judgment, resulting in enforcement actions and severe credit damage.
I am Matthew John Carr, a licensed UK solicitor (SRA ID: 381482). I draft rigorous, technically sound Defences that systematically challenge claimant allegations and protect your legal and financial position.
What you receive:
- Methodical paragraph-by-paragraph response complying with CPR Part 15
- Clear statements of admission, denial, and requirement for proof
- Pleading of substantive legal defenses (Limitation Act, failure of consideration, Consumer Rights Act)
- Drafted Counterclaims where the claimant owes you damages
- Court-ready documents with the mandatory Statement of Truth
A generic or emotionally driven defense is easily dismantled. Work with a licensed UK legal professional to hold the claimant to strict proof.
Review the packages and order today to ensure your defense is filed before the court deadline.

FAQ
How much time do I have to file a Defence?
Under English law, you have 14 days from the date of service. If you file an Acknowledgment of Service, this deadline extends to 28 days.
Can you draft a Counterclaim if the claimant owes me money?
Yes. The Premium package includes a fully pleaded Part 20 Counterclaim to seek damages or debt recovery against the claimant within the same action.
What happens if I miss the filing deadline?
The claimant can request a Judgment in Default (CCJ) against you without a hearing. It is critical to take action immediately upon receiving court papers.
Will my Defence adhere to CPR Part 15?
Yes. All drafts follow the mandatory CPR Part 15 structure, ensuring every allegation is properly admitted, denied, or put to strict proof.
Can you assist if a Default Judgment has already been entered?
Yes. I can draft an N244 Application Notice and supporting statement to apply to set aside a Default Judgment under CPR Part 13. Message me for details.
