    No you are incorrect - the winner can put in a claim for costs. I win a civil case that was taken out against me and I had my costs awarded. This was 3 months sgo.

    I was imprecise in my previous post; I mean that legal costs could not be claimed in the SCC. That is what your post clearly appeared to refer to.

    Did you get your legal costs paid in the SCC, or just ancillary costs?

    I defended myself as case was clear cut as far as I was concerned but I did seek legal advice before I attended from solicitor friend. I claimed back ancillary costs as that was all I had incurred as my friend advised me for free and helped me withh paperwork. I dont believe you can get legal aid for civil cases but you can be exempt from some of the court costs for bringing case to court if you are in receipt of certain benefits
