Common confusion points
Confusing 'Within' vs. 'Beyond': If it’s exactly one mile out, does it count as 'within' or 'beyond'? Check instructions.
Not knowing who the respondent is: This means you don't know who caused the damage yet; list the property owner/entity instead.
Mixing up Acts: Assuming a different statute applies (e.g., Negligence) when Malicious Injury is the core claim.
Location ambiguity: Listing 'The Coast' without specifying which part of the Irish coast.
