Can I represent myself in a Civil court of law in uk?

You never NEED a lawyer for anything. You can represent yourself. You can do your own conveyancing, write your own will and take another person's estate through probate (the Probate Registry even has a specific application form for people not using a solicitor) - I know, I've done all these.

The small claims procedure is even designed to make it possible for you to go to court without all the formalities of a courtroom by making the hearing more informal, which is intended to make it easier for you to represent yourself.

However, is it wise? It is also legal for you to remove your own appendix, but is that wise unless you really know what you're doing? (It IS possible - there was a doctor with a Russian expedition to Antarctica who got appendicitis, and with the help of other members of the team, took his own appendix out as there was no chance of getting to a hospital in time.) The point of going to a solicitor is that they know better than you do how it all works and how to present things. They are also not emotionally involved and can think about it more dispassionately as the court will, which is why even lawyers generally don't represent themselves.

Yes, many people represent themselves in civil cases

It all depends on what you are being sued for and how much money. Remember, the courts go on FACTS, not emotions or opinions

If you are armed with factual evidence and are confident you know what you are doing you can represent yourself

Old saying: "The person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client."

Yes you can. But the saying is "anyone who represents himself in court has a fool for a client".

Usually, yes. The judge will try to keep you from digging yourself into a hole procedure-wise, but he/she cannot advise you otherwise. It may not be wise, especially if the other side do have a lawyer speaking for them.
