A DDU member describes facing a claim that went to court – a process that ended up taking several years.
I knew nothing about what to do about the lawyer's letter other than to contact the DDU, so I phoned them immediately.
I really wasn't precious about 'clearing my name'... But my lawyers said they all felt this was a winnable case, and that we should strongly defend claims when we can.
I had never been in a court before, let alone as the person being sued, so it was all a new and frightening experience.
