Credit Hire
Chambers has been active in credit hire litigation for over a
decade. We are regarded as one of the foremost sets in this field
and have acted in the vast majority of leading authorities. Our
pre-eminence in this field is reflected by recommendations in
Chambers UK and the Legal 500.
Representing claimants and defendants, our expertise encompasses
matters such as exempt/non-exempt agreements, impecuniosity,
mitigation of loss, duration of hire, spot hire rates, credit hire
claims where fraud is alleged, storage and recovery charges, and
credit repair.
We are involved at all stages of credit hire litigation, both
pre and post-issue of proceedings, on all types of credit hire
claims, whether small claims track matters or very substantial
multi-track cases.
Consequently our work includes, for example, the drafting of
pleadings and Part 18 requests and replies, the drafting of interim
applications, appearing in those interim applications, and advice
and representation all the way through to appearing at trial and on
appeal.
