Civil Claims & OCMC
Free, plain-English guides to bringing or defending a civil claim in the County Court of England and Wales — from the N1 claim form and Money Claim Online (OCMC) to particulars of claim, defences, admissions and counterclaims. Whether you are the claimant starting a case or the defendant responding, these step-by-step guides walk you through each stage in line with the Civil Procedure Rules, so you can file correctly and avoid the errors that get claims struck out. If you are claiming money online, start with our complete Money Claim Online (OCMC) walkthrough, which covers the whole process end to end. For paper claims, see the Form N1 claim form guide and learn how to draft your particulars of claim. If you are defending, begin with the Form N9 acknowledgment of service and the N9D defence guide, then move on to witness statements and skeleton arguments as your case progresses. Every guide is free to read — and when you’re ready, Chris can help you draft your own documents to a professional standard, in minutes.
