The main interaction involved here is 'Mouse Click (Tap)' that create the animation for expand and collapse. It is targeting the main container of each row, so that user can click on anywhere within the row/container to expand or collapse an item.
Using the same interaction trigger as above, I created an animation to rotate and resize the icon to shape it from a plus to minus.
To make things a little livelier, I added a nice little touch up to the paragraph by creating a slide in animation from below. So, instead of being still upon expand, it will slide in from below nicely.
I added a focus/highlight effect to make the item that's on hover stands out from the rest. This helps the user to focus on the item that they are reading.
This is definitely optional. You can remove this animation from the interaction setting. It's a separate interaction from the expand/collapse.

These are the most common types of cases. The all-inclusive fixed-fee covers checking the file, case preparation, court fee, advocate if required and VAT.
Please note if for any reason the hearing is adjourned or cancelled the Advocate fees would still be payable by you.
The standard Section 8 or Section 21 accelerated procedure cannot be used if your case does not comply with the rules (eg: change of landlord, missing agreement, oral tenancy) and a court hearing is required. Additional preparation is necessary and an advocate will attend the hearing on your behalf.
Please note, our fixed fees do not apply and we reserve the right to increase our fees, if your matter is found to be non-standard (for example the matter becomes defended). If your case is listed for a hearing, we are required to prepare a bundle of papers and draft a witness statement to assist with prioritising your case. Should your case become defended and go to trial, this may potentially lead to additional substantial legal costs being incurred. If this should be the case, you will be informed in advance by your case worker (as per our Terms & Conditions).

If we are issuing a possession claim on a non-rent arrears Section 8 notice such as anti-social behaviour or a notice to quit, we will discuss the price with you in advance. There will be additional work to issue the possession claim and an increased likelihood that the matter may be defended. All defended work falls outside our fixed fees and is charged at the fee earner's hourly rate, to be advised.
This fee includes the same service as our Step 2, where Landlord Action drafted and served the notice(s), but is higher as we need to check your notice(s) was served correctly before issuing the possession claim. If we cannot issue the possession claim after a review of your case, we will let you know why and what the next steps are – the cost for this part of the service is £300 + vat for one notice and £366 + vat for two notices. If a new notice(s) is needed and you want Landlord Action to prepare and serve the notice(s) for you, the fee will revert back to our Step 1 (£288 + vat for one notice and £345 + vat for two notices). If after the expiry of the new notice(s), your tenant does not leave the property, you will need to move on to step 2 (possession claim). If the above applies to your case, you will be informed of the top-up payment required to move on to Step 2. If you do not want to proceed to Step 2 (make a possession claim) we will refund the balance of any fees not used.
Please note, our fixed fees do not apply and we reserve the right to increase our fees, if your matter is found to be non-standard (for example the matter becomes defended).
