Why should I send a Letter Before Action?

A professionally written Letter Before Action can return many benefits when aiming to resolve an issue with another party. It can be viewed as an attempt to negotiate in good faith before legal proceedings. Also, a Letter Before Action can:

  • Outline or highlight your grievances clearly and concisely, avoiding room for doubt
  • Resolve disputes amicably
  • Provide a recipient with an opportunity to meet the demands or make a counteroffer
  • Provide a pathway for a course of action before litigation
  • Most importantly, it can avoid costly legal fees and time

 

In England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, if a dispute is taken to court, the court will consider any pre-action protocols you take before bringing the case to them. A Letter Before Action is pre-action evidence that you have made a serious attempt to resolve issues of your own volition before embarking on litigation; it can really benefit your claim.
 
However, in Scotland, the sheriff court advises and indeed encourages protocols such as a Letter Before Action before filing a claim.
