The Last 48 Hours: Why Waiting Until January Could Cost You Thousands More
When conflict arises, whether it is a high-stakes business disagreement or a painful family dispute the instinct is often to “deal with it after the holidays.” However, in the world of UK litigation, those few weeks of delay can be the most expensive mistake you make this year. The Brutal Math of Procrastination As we enter the final 48 hours of 2025, the clock isn’t just ticking toward a New Year; it is ticking against your bank account. The statistics for 2024-2025 are clear: 3 Reasons Why “Wait and See” is a Failed Strategy 1. Court Fees Rise & Costs Compound: Court fees are subject to change, and solicitors’ rates often increase with the new calendar year. Resolving your dispute in the next 48 hours stops the bleeding immediately. 2. The January “Logjam”: UK courts are facing an 18–24 month backlog. If you wait until January to file, you are at the back of a very long queue. Mediation can resolve your issue in 2–4 weeks. 3. The Emotional Cost of the New Year: Do you want your first thought on January 1st to be about a legal battle?
