A step-by-step decision tool to identify which court or tribunal handles your legal problem in England & Wales — from employment disputes to housing, immigration, and more.

Important: This tool provides general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Limitation periods and legal deadlines are strictly enforced — missing them can permanently bar your claim. Always verify key dates with a qualified solicitor before relying on this output. Laws and court fee scales change; confirm current figures on the relevant official government website.

When to use this tool
