There have been loads of decided cases on the subject of when and whether you can claim for the hassle and metal anguish caused by your predicament. Many of them contradictory. The law could even change with a decision of the Supreme Court.
But what I recommend is that you ensure it is not your case that goes there as that could be expensive. Instead the county court and High Court are likely to deal with any claim by (or against) you by applying the general principles set out in Chapter 25.

NOTE: This is the last extract we'll be publishing for now. Hope you have been helped by and enjoyed the free extracts of Breaking Law we have brought you over the past two months. We will be treating you to some more from time to time in the future. If you would care to buy my book (this Gold bloke has a nerve, hasn’t he?) as your own doorstop or as a gift for a family member or friend who is need of advice or can be expected to be in some sort of legal trouble in the very near future, then please don’t be shy to do so.
The chapters you haven’t seen cover the delights of bankruptcy, divorce, mortgage problems, shopping disputes and much more.
