Tutorial · first case, start to finish

Twenty honest minutes, then one folder per sitting.

You do not need to learn the tool — you need to tell the truth once, carefully. This page walks a first case through the desk so there are no surprises about what each sitting asks of you.

The four sittings
Sitting 1 — Analyse (free)

Pick your area and language, then type what happened in order. Read the provisional analysis: the statutes named, the strength reading, and the evidence list. Nothing is owed yet.

Sitting 2 — Evidence (£15+)

Tag every fact strong, weak or missing — then chase only what is missing. The requests write themselves; your job is dates, documents and receipts.

Sitting 3 — Document (£50+)

Read the letter before you send it. Change anything — it is your letter. Send it from your own email, keep the copy in your language beside it, and diary the reply window.

Sitting 4 — Tribunal (£100/£150)

If it stays contested: the pack assembles from your own file — statement, their arguments with your answers, the bundle. Rehearse it out loud, in English, against your own-language copy.

The two habits that win cases

Dates in everything — an undated fact is a weak fact, no matter how true. And never let an ignored letter be the end: the follow-up system exists because most people lose by giving up after one unanswered email, not by being wrong.
