Hi All,
I'm starting an action and to try and contain my costs I have engaged a Barrister under the Direct Access arrangement.
I have already sent a Letter Before Action and a Without Prejudice Offer of Settlement, the other party rejected the allegations and rejected the settlement offer.
Having spoken to my chosen Barrister he has suggested that I before I "press the button" using Money Claim Online that I send a further Letter Before Action setting out the details of my claim and the amounts I intend to claim. This is because the first Letter Before Action was sent before the full claim value was calculated and only included the Heads of Claim.
However, he has suggested that I set out the letter content in the format of "Particulars of Claim" which would effectively be replicated in my actual claim submission to the Court.
My question is, can anyone provide advice on what should specifically be included in the Particulars of Claim and in what order or format along with any other tips to make it an effective document? Or, are there any templates available anywhere that I could use and fill in the blanks?
Many thanks for any help.
