To issue and process legal proceedings:

Go to the Court of Issue.
Nab one of their pro-forma summonses or writs
Fill in the bits and the Statement of Claim
Sign and validate summons or writ
Pay issue fee to Court Registrar
Arrange for service of Summons or Writ on the defendant
After service wait for any Defences (three weeks to a month)
If no Defence received apply for Judgement at the Court
If there is a Defence a Court Hearing (and the evidence) becomes 
necessary - Judgement happens one way or the other.
Execute Judgement by Warrent, Order or other remedy.
If Judgement Execution unsatisfied, issue a Bankruptcy Notice and 
institute insolvency proceedings.

Costs apply all along the way, process must be followed .... but yes, 
it is that simple.

Given the fact that none of the above stretches the mind in any way 
... it's much better to have a lawyer do it.

In other words, simple in practice, simple in theory.
