Suitability Enquiry

Answer five short questions about your role, the stage of the estate and what is holding matters up. Justin Patten, Solicitor, will review your outline to consider whether Human Law can help or whether you need a different form of legal support. This is a free enquiry, not an instant self-service result.

No documents are required at this stage. The enquiry provides a preliminary suitability response and is not legal advice.

Request Your Preliminary Suitability Response

Thank you. Your answers provide an initial outline of the administration and the apparent blockage. They do not establish that any particular procedure—such as a warning, citation, application for accounts or removal—is appropriate.

Justin Patten, Solicitor, will review the information supplied and indicate whether a defined Human Law service or a Dispute Assessment & Action Plan may fit, whether more information is needed, or whether another form of legal advice is appropriate.

Procedural Notice: As formal proceedings may already be underway, the matter may require a solicitor able to conduct litigation and act on the court record. We will consider this when reviewing suitability.

We ordinarily provide a preliminary suitability response within two working days. This response is not a substitute for the Dispute Assessment & Action Plan and does not contain case-specific legal advice.

Is another party represented by a solicitor?

Is there an immediate deadline?

Have a deadline? Call 01279 215580 · Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm. Do not wait for a suitability reply if urgent advice or court action is needed.
