Pre-sue reports

Litigation is fraught with cost and uncertainty. In circumstances where a client has not paid an invoice, a contract has been breached or general civil law rights have been damaged, human nature tends to result in a focus on the legal rights and wrongs (merits) of a prospective case, and it can be all too easy to lose sight of the fact that :-

  • There is a difference between “can’t pay” and “won’t pay”
  • The legal procedures available following a court judgment, to enforce that judgment, result in more money being spent and such procedures are generally slow and lacking in “teeth”

Consequently, before incurring expensive legal fees, there is real merit in obtaining what is generally known as a “Pre sue report”. The reports we at Blackhawk provide are tailor made for each client, each circumstance, and most importantly, the budget available when compared to the likely amount involved in the case. There is nothing worse than “throwing good money after bad” and our reports enable clients to make informed choices. Depending on the type of case, amount at stake and number of parties involved, our reports may include :-

  • Bankruptcy searches
  • Winding up searches
  • Property and asset searches
  • Register of County Court Judgments
  • Companies House searches including historical directorships
  • Address checks
  • Lifestyle checks
  • If multi parties to litigation, checks to see whether some defendants are stronger financially then others

As stated above, we will tailor make an appropriate package for you. Please telephone or use our secure pre-sue reports contact form.
