We call that type of Court help our 'McKenzie Friend' service.

Appeal, Setaside, Vary an order


Explaining your rights
You may be unhappy with the final order and consider that the judge got it really wrong or that it is unjust. 

Depending on the type of case, type of order and the facts, you have the right of appeal, to set aside, or to vary the order.

We offer a clear explanation of your rights and options and simplify the whole application process for you, so that you can get on with life and not get muddled up with court forms and procedures.

Mortgage /Repossessions:

If you are the Defendant, for a fixed fee, we can also arrange for Financial McKenzie Friends in the following types of cases:  mortgage arrears, mortgage possession, credit and debit card debt, loans and other debt matters.

Defending Mortgage possessions - Fixed fee option

For a fixed fee, we can also arrange for Financial McKenzie Friends to be present in mortgage possession cases, applications and other short hearings in chambers at any County Court. 

Typically, the applicant will be the lender - a national bank or building society,  and will be represented by a barrister appointed by a firm of Solicitors.
Rules and costs of McKenezie Friends Service


A Mackenzie Friend does not have the automatic right to speak to a judge or opposing Solicitor/barrister directly, but may respond to direct questions from a judge. Their main role is to quietly take notes and prompt their clients on what questions to ask and answers to provide, if they need this assistance.

All of our regional Legal Consultants are all competent trained McKenzie Friends.

friendON AVERAGE, one of our McKenzie Friends will cost £190.00 plus travel time to be with you at court.(ie on average two hours @ £95 plus travel time there and back).

Your McKenzie Friend will normally be your regional adviser. Often the cost depends on how much waiting around there is at Court, and whether the Court hears your case first or last on the day of the Hearing.  We recommend that you email us using the form below to ask who the Mckenzie Friend is in your area.
( Note: Our fees do not include VAT.)
