Form N181 - Filling in as claimant

[SundayLR]

Hi - I am representing myself with a claim for loss of earnings due to my freeholder not carrying out his duties and repairing the roof to our property, which has resulted in me not being able to rent my property for 8 months. I need to complete Form N181 and was wondering if anyone could help me in how to complete each section and how much detail I need to give at this stage. Thank you so much in advance.

I am not sure what it means when it says I have to attach order for directions which I seek or section I when it it says do I intend to make applications in the future??

The Government has published guidance notes titled "What to do when a civil court gives you instructions". You should read this article. It covers topics such as court orders, directions, pre-action protocols, witness statements, scott schedules, document disclosure, expert witness.

Value of my claim is just below £15,000 and I am a first time LIP. I just can't seem to find anything that spells out in plain English how to complete directions of order. I have no idea what I should be attaching or how I should be wording it. Thank you both for the download links though - much appreciated.
