Interviewed by Professor Dominic Regan, Stephen expands on topics including: 

  • a guide to mastering the new pre-action protocol for debt claims which came into effect on 1 October 2017;
  • litigants in person (LiPs) and unfounded proceedings;
  • interest—if you want to claim it you’ve got to plead it.

Stephen also covers court blunders, bailiff and enforcement agent powers, and claims for illegal exercise of them.
