No win No fee

[thebig1]

I am not a solicitor and not legally trained, however I do have some experience taking companies to court successfully .

My experience says that you could each individually take nissan to the small claims court to recover the cost of a new engine. This will cost under £100 and has the real potential to get you your money back. Nissan would send a representative to answer the case in county court, but it would be up to the judge to decide if you should be paid or not. You could theoretically all lodge your claim at the same time and the court could opt to hear all the cases together.

Option 2 would be to form a collective group and find a solicitor who would work on a no win no fee basis. This would be protected by an insurance policy to protect you from costs. It would be necessary to sue for damages as well as actual costs to make this viable. Dependent upon the number in your group costs could be as small as about £100 again. Nissan would be forced to supply proper evidence to defend the claim, but it is highly likely they would lose.
