Not sure if this is the best place to put this so please feel free to move it if needed.
I'm a director of our management company and we have large amount of outstanding service charges, some going back years.
Obviously we can use a solicitor to do the work for us but this is costly, our company is surviving day to day and doesn't have any surplus cash available and most debts are under €3,000. Under district court rule from what I read the maximum award for legal costs is something like €45 but legal costs would be more than 10 times that.
Anyway, can the company file in the district court without a solicitor? and if so how would we go about doing it? anyone know what this would cost etc?
Is the small claims court an option and if we filed for each invoice as opposed to the full debt it would be under the €2000 limit of the small claims court.
