What You Need to Know (The Story)

Small Claims Court Limit (€2,000)

Ireland's Small Claims Court handles claims up to €2,000. Over that? District Court. The Small Claims Court is informal and designed for self-representation. Grand for small disputes.

Statute of Limitations

Usually 6 years for contract claims, 2 years for personal injuries. The clock starts when you discovered (or should have discovered) the issue. Don't delay filing.

Consumer Rights (Sale of Goods Act)

Irish consumer law is strong. Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 gives you rights if goods are faulty or services are substandard. Use it.

Pre-Action Letter Required

Courts expect you to try resolving disputes before litigation. A demand letter shows good faith. Skip it and the judge won't be impressed.

Irish Legal System (The Quick Version)

Ireland operates under common law with statutory modifications. Small Claims Court handles up to €2,000 (informal, no solicitors). District Court handles larger claims. Consumer protection under Sale of Goods Act 1980 and Consumer Rights Act 2022. Limitation periods are strict: 6 years for contracts, 2 for injury. This tool generates compliant letters but isn't legal advice. See a solicitor for complex matters.

Common Questions

Do I need a solicitor?

For Small Claims Court (under €2,000), you don't need one and can't use one at the hearing. For District Court claims, you can represent yourself but might want legal advice for complex matters.

What if they just ignore my letter?

File with the Small Claims Court or District Court. The letter shows you tried to resolve it, which courts appreciate. But it's not magic - some eejits still won't pay until forced.

Can I claim under consumer law?

If you bought goods that are faulty, not of merchantable quality, or don't match description, the Sale of Goods Act probably applies. Same for dodgy services. Strong protections.

How long should I give them to respond?

14-30 days is standard. Give them reasonable time but don't wait forever. If no response, proceed with your claim.
