Why document review matters more than most LiPs realise

The single most common reason litigants in person lose cases they should win is not that their legal position is wrong. It is that their documents fail to present that position effectively to the decision-maker. A judge reading a poorly structured ET1 or a C100 that buries the key facts will form an impression of your case before you have said a word.

Document review by a qualified solicitor is not proofreading. Eugene reviews the substance — the legal basis of the claim, the factual narrative, the specific arguments that will and will not work, the gaps that the other side will exploit. That analysis, provided in writing before you file, is worth significantly more than its cost.

ET1 — why you cannot afford to get it wrong

The ET1 is your claim form. You cannot add new claims after it has been submitted — only the claims properly pleaded in the ET1 can be pursued at the hearing. If your ET1 fails to plead your unfair dismissal and discrimination claims correctly, the tribunal will only hear what you actually pleaded. Eugene's ET1 review identifies every gap before you file.

C100 — the document that frames your family case

The C100 is the first document the court, CAFCASS and the other party see. How you frame the application in the C100 sets the initial narrative for your entire case. A C100 that fails to adequately explain the urgency, that gets the MIAM section wrong, or that does not clearly articulate the welfare concerns, starts your case on the back foot.

Position statements and skeleton arguments

Many litigants in person arrive at hearings without a position statement. Those who do provide one often produce a document that runs to many pages but buries the key points in narrative. A well-drafted position statement is concise, structured around the specific orders being sought, and tells the judge exactly what you want and why you are entitled to it.

Common questions

Document review — what people ask

How do I send my document for review?expand_more
Email your document to [email protected] with a brief summary of your situation — what the document is, what proceedings it relates to, and any deadlines you are working to. Eugene will respond to confirm the fixed fee and turnaround time before starting work.
What does the written feedback include?expand_more
The written feedback identifies specific gaps, weaknesses and errors in your document and provides concrete recommendations for addressing each one. It is not a general assessment — it tells you exactly what to change and why. Follow-up questions on the feedback by email are included in the fee.
Can Eugene draft documents from scratch?expand_more
Yes. Eugene drafts position statements, skeleton arguments, witness statements and certain other documents from scratch where required. Drafting fees start from £175 and are agreed upfront. For drafting, Eugene will typically need a briefing call or written summary of the facts and the orders being sought.
I have a deadline in two days — can you help?expand_more
Contact us immediately at [email protected] explaining the deadline. Where the timeline is tight, Eugene will do his best to accommodate but cannot guarantee availability for urgent requests. The standard turnaround is 48 hours from receipt of the document and payment of the agreed fee.
My guide credit — does it apply to document review?expand_more
Yes. If you have purchased a Be Your Best Lawyer guide within the last 14 days, the purchase price is credited back against your first document review or drafting session. Mention the guide you purchased when you make contact.
