How do you get a small claims reinstated if it was struck out and are there any charges to pay?

    If your claim has been struck out, it will no longer exist. You may, if you wish, file an application to have the claim reinstated. However, the application will itself have a fee and, if the court permits the application to reinstate, that permission will be conditional on payment of the appropriate hearing fee or application for help with fees.

    Why was it struck out and why do you feel it should be reinstated?

    I don't have any direct experience of the process so was just searching online, and would suggest you do likewise, or if you want more informed help on here then share more detail, although this is a consumer rights board rather than a legal one as such.

    There are plenty of sites run by lawyers which offer guidance, such as:

    or there are legal forums such as Legal Beagles.

    Why was the claim struck out? 
    At what stage?
    All of this has a bearing on what one might say in an application (and, potentially, the merits of doing that).

    And also whether it's even possible and how much it would cost.
