A friend (really) has been sued by a business for a significant sum of money in excess of €70,000.
This person went to their solicitor who has prepared a defence and engaged a barrister. A date has been set for court hearing.
There is no question that the money is owed. My friends business was badly hit by Covid but is running again and reasonably profitable.
My question is can or should my friend go to court. Can they not avoid the expense of court. What other options are there.
