Not legal advice. RemedyReady is a document-preparation tool and information service run by Split Right Ltd. We are not a law firm, we are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or the Bar Standards Board and we do not give legal advice or act for you. Every case is different and our guidance describes the law in general terms and may contain errors or become out of date: check important points against the official source, follow the court's directions in your case and take advice on your own situation from a solicitor, a barrister instructed directly, or a free service such as Advocate, Citizens Advice or a Law Centre.
