Terms

The website

These terms govern use of the English-language site at web-forecourt.com, which is operated by Forecourt Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 13068651. Registered office: Ground Floor, Centenary House, Peninsula Park, Rydon Lane, Exeter EX2 7XE, United Kingdom. Forecourt provides a confidential consultation and assigns work to independent lawyers and licensed investigators.

The lawyers and investigators we assign are independent professionals. Each is responsible for the work they agree to do, under the rules of the place where they are licensed.

Consultation is not a retainer

Submitting the form does not create a lawyer-client or investigator-client relationship, does not start a limitation period strategy, and does not mean a file has been opened.

A written mandate, if one follows, is the instrument that retains counsel or inquiry. Until then, treat the exchange as a first contact.

Assignment

Forecourt chooses the desk. You do not select a firm on this site, and you do not choose counsel versus inquiry as a menu.

Assignment may involve lawyers, licensed investigators, or both, according to the facts. Before you agree to anything, you are told who will act for you and where they are licensed.

Acceptable use

You must not submit malicious, false, or automated briefings, and you must not attempt to probe other people’s matters through this website.

We may decline, ignore, or refer a submission that appears abusive, incomplete, or outside the work we assign.

Liability

The site is provided as a digital front door. To the extent permitted by law, Forecourt is not liable for decisions made before a written mandate exists, including delay, a missed limitation period, or a step taken on the strength of website copy alone.

Nothing on this website is a warranty of result, recovery, or admissibility.

Governing law

These terms govern the English-language site. They are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. Canadian matters are assigned to professionals entitled to do that work in Canada.

Forecourt also assigns lawyers admitted in Italy and works with private investigators licensed in Italy. Those matters are governed by Italian law and by European Union law where it applies. They are not proceedings in Ontario. The Italian site states the terms for clients in Italy.

If a dispute about this English website itself cannot be resolved, the courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction.

Contact

Questions about these terms, and consultation requests that cannot use the form, should be sent to briefing@web-forecourt.com, or by post to Forecourt Ltd, Ground Floor, Centenary House, Peninsula Park, Rydon Lane, Exeter EX2 7XE, United Kingdom.
