The other side "big corp" had a law firm, and several lawyers.
Interesting: no lawyers in U. S. small claims court. That probably has something to do with the lower dollar limits in the U. S., but IANAL nor spend much time in court.
- b112 3y agoThere are no lawyers as lawyers. Here, anyone can represent you, on your behalf. But all sorts of lawyerish things (discovery) are prohibited, cost recovery, and the judge must explain things to you, especially if some party uses gibberish(legalese) in an argument. So the playing field is level, a lawyer as a lawyer doesn't happen, and so it is amusing to see Big Corp pay out of their nose. Oh, and they must have a representative "standing by" which often means in person.
