Lots of our members have self represented, some all the way through, some taking care of the preliminary paperwork/hearings themselves and using a direct barrister for finding of fact and final hearings. Some use a McKenzie Friend.
As far as bundles are concerned, it would generally be the applicants solicitor that prepares the bundle, if the applicant is unrepresented and the respondent has a solicitor, they will usually be tasked to prepare the bundle. If both litigants are without representation, the court will often forgo the bundle, but it’s advisable to keep a file with all documentation for reference.
