Will my case get to court?

The chances are very slim. Of the thousands of claims reported to us each year, only a tiny fraction actually go to court. 

Around 50% are successfully defended or are discontinued by the claimant.

If you'd like more information on what happens if a case does go to court, you can read our guide on giving evidence in court, as well as a member's own account of doing so from our digital journal.
