More details to this question:
My neighbours have caused ongoing nuisance to my home for the last year and I have lost earnings. As a result my home has reduced significantly in value. I intend to take them to small claims court for a judgement plus some costs, and want to know whether after suing in small claims court I can then taken them to high court to reclaim loss of value to my home? Can you sue in small claims court - then high court on the same case?

No, you can't split your claim like that. You ahve one lawsuit for all damages causes by your neighbor's wrongdoing.
