Good to know: Important UK legal note: this is a general document builder, not a guarantee of compliance with a particular court protocol. The Civil Procedure Rules contain specific pre-action protocols for several types of claim. Where none applies, the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct and Protocols sets out the usual steps.

Common questions

Is a letter before action always required?

The correct pre-action steps depend on the type of dispute. Specific protocols apply to some claims, while the general Practice Direction applies where no approved protocol applies.

What should the letter explain?

For a general claim it should usually explain the basis of the claim, summarise the facts, state what you want and explain how any monetary amount is calculated.

Is this legal advice?

No. The builder provides a general document framework. For significant, complex or time-sensitive disputes, consider professional legal advice.
