Pre-action and Protocol compliant correspondence

When parties fall into dispute it’s important that they establish early on what the issues are and how the matter is likely to proceed. That usually starts with exchanges of pre-action correspondence, or letters before action. Even though court proceedings are not yet issued there are rules that ought to be followed. Effective pre-action correspondence can often resolve disputes quickly and efficiently without the need for court involvement.
