You could try depoll... do you want to make them a man called sue?

[fredkins]

Who Is It you want to sue?

[Buenchico]

Unless you've got LOTS of money (or you've got backing from, say, a professional organisation), don't even bother thinking about it. You'll need more than the value of most houses to pay the bills; if you lose you'll end up paying double that (or possibly substantially more) as you'll have to pay the other party's bills as well.

Assuming this is not relating to the belching and farting thread, you can try the small claims court. I usually agree with Chris but if it's a small claims court matter it need not be expensive. It depends on the circumstances. Have they happened yet?

[Mamyalynne]

Like suing in advance Factor.

[Buenchico]

As Factor30 has pointed out, suing someone for money owing to you (or for financial compensation) can be done via the Small Claims procedure.

I was assuming that you were referring to suing someone for, say, defamation.

If it's a financial claim you can do it online here:

You will know that to sue is to make a claim for a remedy in the civil courts by issuing proceedings.
This is very easy to do either with a solicitor or without, if you intend to use a solicitor try to find a firm who offer a Conditional Fee arrangement (no win no fee, if your claim is one they can deal with), this will be a good test of the strength of your position as it will only be accepted if it has a very good chance of success. If you do not intend to use a solicitor, and I would suggest you do, go to the civil court dealing in your area of concern and ask the staff to provide the information, they will not give legal advice.
