The platform includes 210 UK authorities across five practice areas covering rate disputes, impecuniosity, intervention, liability, mitigation, period of hire, and witness evidence.

How is LegalDocs Assist different from using ChatGPT for legal work?
ChatGPT draws from general training data and will confidently cite cases that do not exist. LegalDocs Assist uses a curated knowledge base of 210 UK authorities across five practice areas and refuses to generate responses when no supporting case law exists. Every citation is cross-checked before it reaches you.
What key credit hire case law should I know in 2025?
Key authorities include Stevens v Equity Syndicate Management for the eight principles, Zurich v Umerji on impecuniosity, Pattni v First Leicester Buses on intervention, and the recent Wiltshire v Aioi Nissay Dowa [2025] EWCC 13 which warned against template-driven witness statements. The case law continues to develop, particularly around BHR evidence standards.
Can LegalDocs Assist help with liability disputes?
Yes. The Liability Assessment tool provides structured assessments with recovery percentages, relevant case law, and the specific questions you should address before making any concession. It covers split liability, contributory negligence, and common dispute scenarios.
