Litigant in Person-what costs are you entitled to?

[Sickofbullies]

Hi, I am a LIP and in the process of completing a schedule of costs. Can anyone please confirm the rate I can charges and what other expenses am I entitled to.

Thank you

Is this small claims track? Travel (45p per mile? ), parking, lost wages capped at £95 per half day. If you are allowed to claim for time spent then £19 per hour

Thank you. It is Fast Track.I actually live in Spain and I have to travel to UK for hearings. Can I claim for travel?

include travel costs and you don't get a witness allowance

[Sickofbullies]

Sorry, can you please elaborate on this? Witness allowance-is that for me or anyone independent?

As claimant you are a witness and as such can claim travel costs.
However as a litigant in person you may be allowed your costs for attending court.
You may not claim the cost twice.

CPR 45 details the fixed costs (fast track sec 37 onwards)

Thank you. I am the defendant. I will read through CPR 45.
