What's the process like over there? I hear all the time people saying they'll take a company to court but the reality isn't that simple. I've taken 3 court actions in my life and the quickest of these took 6 months from start to finish, and that was only because the company settled after the allocation questionnaire. I got ripped off by a gym membership and the case took the best part of 3 years to resolve, and involved the Information Commissioner's Offce and the Office of Fair Trading.

So when I hear "see you in court" I always take it with a pinch of salt. Is remedy really that easy elsewhere?
